WAR is all he's got really.. they both lack defensive accolades but Cabrera has almost twice as many HR RBI & Walks.. over .020 higher BA.. AND almost .100 higher OPS.. good year for Machado no doubt.. if he can keep it up for another month and a half and cabrera lets off a bit he can definitely be a possibility.. unfortunately with fans voting this is really a popularity contest so i dont think we will see Machado starting an all star game anytime soon..
by the way he's not up there with Trout and Harper.. not yet.. give me a full season of these numbers and we'll consider that..
