Al mvp?

How many games have you seen Cabrera and Pujols play exactly? Anybody can see anything happen with a small enough sample size.

You don't need stats to tell that Pujols is a FAR better defensive first basemen Miguel Cabrera, just use your eyes.

I love to watch baseball. I'm not a stat kinda guy, but I watch them play frequently through MLB.tv, it's how I watch all my Astros games.

See below.

That seems like recently created stats to make others believe with calculated numbers to seem true. I've seen Cabrera make some spectacular plays at first to save a run. Yet, he's at -1. I've also seen Pujols do the same. But I've also seen Pujols make some blunders, along with Cabrera.

Like BINGLEBOP said, small sample size. The +/- system uses video analysts that look at EVERY play during the season, and comes up with the amount of plays above or below average that the player made, and Pujols destroys the league in +/-. It's not some silly stat created in a basement. It's based off actual video analysis of every play. The Fielding Bible goes into full detail of how it's calculated.

To me that Chris Dial's system is flawed. Just numbers crunched together.

Quite a heavy accusation if you don't actually know how it's calculated. Here's how it is calculated, and it's based off Zone Rating.

If Quentin hadn't gotten hurt I think he would've won it easily, and his stats are still good enough that he could still win it. Pedroia has a pretty good case. A-Rod's been great. Youkilis is a solid candidate. I'm sure I'm forgetting another worthy candidate, but if I had to pick someone I'd be somewhat biased and take Pedroia.
