    Comeback Players of the Year?

    Who do you think will win this year? I think Fernando Tatis will get it in the NL, but I'm not sure about the AL. What do you guys think?

    Moose maybe?

    EDIT: Or, Cliff Lee.

    Tatis hasn't played enough for me to consider him, yet, so he depends on the final 2 months of the season. Jim Edmonds, Kerry Wood, and Rick Ankiel are all candidates. If Rich Harden plays out the rest of the season at a similar pace to what he's done so far, I think it's him in a landslide, even though he started off the season in the AL.

    I think Cliff Lee really has to be the runaway winner in the AL, although other candidates include Jason Giambi (for a second time!), Eric Hinske, JD Drew, Ervin Santana and Mike Mussina.

    Reed Johnson in the NL maybe

    In the AL, Eric Hinske sounds like a possibility.

    I see the Comeback Award going to a guy that missed a whole lot of time to injury or was rather ineffective the prior year, and Huff doesn't fit that.

    I don't think Cliff Lee can LOSE this award. In the minors this time last year, and now the easy favorite for the Cy Young? If that's not the Comeback Player of the Year, I don't know what is.

    This is Mussina's award to win. And yeah, I guess you're right HGM, now that I check out the stats, Wood looks like a good option in the NL.

    Mussina had a pretty poor year last year, but, he still pitched for basically the entire season. Cliff Lee threw 97 innings, going 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA and went down to AAA for an extended period of time. And now, he's the easy Cy Young favorite.

    I'm honestly surprised by you saying it's Mussina's award to win, given your intense hatred of the Yankees...especially considering there's another non-Yankee that's clearly the better choice...

    Well, I just don't think that someone should be,like, sweeping the awards. Unless that someone is named John Maine

    I really hope Cliff Lee falls apart.

    So you suggest giving an award to a player who isn't as deserving to win it?

    If he is the best player for the awards, who cares? And how is winning Cy Young and Comeback Player of the Year "sweeping the awards"?
