NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes' two-month stint with the New York Mets apparently left an impression with Baseball Writers' Association of America voters.

While Washington's Bryce Harper unanimously was named the National League MVP on Thursday, Cespedes comfortably topped Curtis Granderson for the best showing by a Met.

Among the 30 voters' ballots, Cespedes appeared sixth on two, seventh on three, and 10th on two -- for 24 points. That placed Cespedes 13th overall.

Granderson appeared on only one ballot -- getting a seventh-place vote from Mike Puma of the New York Post. With four points, Granderson finished 18th.

Twenty players, in all, received votes. See the full voting tally here.
