Cabrera has earned the respect of his peers by being arguably the most feared hitter in the game for two years running. Cabrera followed his Triple Crown-winning 2012 campaign by hitting .348/.442/.636 with 42 home runs for the AL Central champions in 2013.

McCutchen, who was the NL MVP in 2012, hit .317/.404/.508 with 21 homers and 27 steals for the Bucs, leading the team to its first winning record and postseason berth since 1992.
