Mark Reynolds and Justin Upton get some MVP love

While the anointment of Albert Pujols as the 2009 National League Most Valuable Player was the most foregone conclusion since, oh, probably Joe Mauer getting the American League trophy, there was some love shown for the Diamondbacks at the bottom of the ballot. Mark Reynolds finished equal 20th, getting one 8th, 9th and 10th place vote, to tie him with Yuniel Escobar and his fifth-place ballot [I'd like to thank Mrs. Escobar for taking part in this year's balloting]. And Justin Upton finished in 25th with a ninth-place vote.

A complete list of DIamondbacks to receive MVP votes can be found after the jump.

Yuni Escobar got a 5th place vote?

Ohhhh boy. Good for Reynolds and Upton, though. I’m sure for Upton he’ll only climb that ladder in years to come.
