Let's Get Javier Vazquez In On the NL Cy Young Discussion
— mvn.com — The 2009 Cy Young vote in the National League promises to be a good one. Three of... the four play-off bounds teams do not have anyone that stands out, and while the Cy Young is not dependant on a playoff appearance to the extent that the MVP award is, it certainly does not hurt.
