Of course, it is without the slightest chip of schadenfreude that one would point out how far those differentiates have fallen since Cabrera&#8217;s heyday. Miggy garnered MVP polls in every season ranging from 2003 -2 016; in that same span, he made ten All-Star plays, won two MVP bestows, and took home seven Silver Slugger trophies.
