FAST FACTS

Diamondbacks leftfielder Gerardo Parra, Orioles rightfielder Nick Markakis and Rays rightfielder Ben Zobrist tied for fifth with 2% of the vote.... Choo, Prado and Young—in that order—made up the top three in last year's poll.... Since 2002, his first full season, Young has 2,037 hits—second in the majors during that span only to Ichiro Suzuki (2,257). A seven-time All-Star, batting champ ('05) and Gold Glove winner ('08), Young has never finished higher than eighth in MVP voting.
