It also should be reiterated that there is no objective argument that can be made based on the facts available that Cabrera was more valuable than Trout in 2012. It really shouldn't have been a debate.
It was hardly the worst selection ever. George Bell in 1987 was a absolutely horrible selection. Justin Morneau in 2006 was a bad selection (even more clear now then at the time it was made). Tejada in 2002 was a terrible choice.
Not the worst ever, but definitely another mistake in a long line of them for the BBWAA.
