Jesse Rogers just did a country-wide poll, with fellow beat-writers/sports writers for all of the other american league teams, and in 100% of those asked, all had Quentin had #1 in the MVP voting if the season ended today. this included boston/newyork writers, as well as west coast and midwestern teams
ironically, nobody had ARod in the top 3 (looking at the numbers, it's far from ironic, but needless to say)
