His name is not Josh Hamilton, Big Pappi or Derek Jeter.  His name is Carlos Quentin and he may not be the most recognized new talent in the majors but he is darn good.  This darn good player leads all of the American League in homeruns and is in the top third in runs batted in.

No one is writing about him mostly because he is hidden by some of the more popular and more name recognized players on the White Sox.  Quentin also has the most go ahead runs of any player on the White Sox or from any team. Carlos is here and he is a top candidate for MVP.

If Quentin was not on this team or hurt I am sure this Sox team be a lot worse off.   Quentin has been so consistent when players like Konerko, Thome and Dye all had inconsitencies.  Yes sure his defense is not gold glove caliber yet but honestly he has had only a few brain cramps out there.  Most of that was just plain inexpereince and lack of playing considering he did not play at all for the Diamondback all of last year. 

It will be difficult to determine an MVP in the Amereican League with such a great story in Texas right now.  If you do not know what I am talking about then what planet are you from?  Although the Rangers are currently a dozen games out of first place.

With David Ortiz struggling to capture his swing because of a beat up wrist, Jeter and Rodriguez having sub par years and the no name Rays with really no real superstar why not Carlos Quentin.  If the Sox win the central I know for sure the White Sox will be picking Quentin as their own MVP no matter who gets the award.
