Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland said during a radio interview that Miguel Cabrera should win the American League MVP over Mike Trout.

Leyland, speaking Thursday on WXYT 97.1 Radio in Detroit, admitted that Trout has had an "unbelievable" season and expressed concern that the rookie's "Wonderboy" status could impact the MVP race.

"I mean this respectfully," Leyland said during the interview. "I don't mean this disrespectfully -- I think what could be a little problem for Miggy ... he could run into one of these Wonderboy stories.
