Depends on the year, usually just 4-8 deep. Hardly ever double digits like it is with the MVP voting.

Franco? Franco.

We get a few more


7th in the 1994 voting.


6th in 1998 (this is his 1999 card due to no Al Leiter as a Met card in the 1998 Topps base)


3rd in 2008


3rd in 1990


4th in 1986, the Mets had 4 pitchers receive votes that year!


3rd in 1994. And we have all of the Mets top three finishes


7th, tied with Doc, in the 1986 vote


5th in that 1986 vote

Nope to Mike Hampton! Leiter's 1998 was the last time a Met would garner a CY vote until this guy, well after the Valentine era was over.

And the only other guy is a well regarded 2nd-3rd starter Met whom probably got swept up in a very Metly voting year.
