You could argue that miggy is now the best hitter of the majors replacing albert pujols.
career wise he is of course still a lot behind albert at the same age (149 OPS+ vs 170 OPS+ at age 28) but alberts last years looked like a slight start of decline while miggy only got better.
Over the last 2 years miggy had a 179 OPS, with a .337, .434, .604 line and 68 HRs while albert only had a 162 OPS+ with a .305, .391, .569 line with 79 HRs.
I think it is fair to say that cabrera is the best hitter of the majors now. bautista might also be slightly ahead of albert over that timeframe with a 173 OPS+ and a .280, .412, .613 line and a whopping 97 HRs although I would not consider him being in the mix for the best hitter since those years were his only good years and the career should be factored too.
