Nothing personal against Cutch, he's a terrific player and a great person, but to me, if you win the TRIPLE FLIPPIN CROWN, you deserve to be on the cover. Period.
When comparing McCutchen to Cabrera: the American League is a HITTERS league.... aka much easier to obtain the Triple Crown. Also, look who Cabrera had around him in the lineup. Compare that protection to McCutchen's protection.
When comparing McCutchen to Cabrera and Sabathia: Yankees? Tigers? Big markets who can BUY and MAKE players. Cutch is making HIMSELF into one of the greatest players in the MLB!!!
What's wrong with giving McCutchen recognition for not caring about himself and wanting to win this cover for his fans?

How does being in a hitter's league make it easier to win the Triple Crown? Wouldn't that make it harder because there's other great hitters? That makes no sense.
How does being in a big market allow teams to "make" players? I'm a Yankees fan and I can confirm that we don't make ****.
I'm fine with you wanting Cutch to win, but your reasons don't make any sense.
