    Twins Comeback Player of the Year

    I'd like to nominate Jesse Crain for this honor. Last season, I cringed every time he came into a game, but this year, he has become a very important member of the bullpen staff.
    Other nominations?

    Re: Comeback Player of the Year

    I guess it depends on your definition of a comeback. It's going to be hard to ignore Jose Bautista, journeyman utility player to league leader in homeruns. Delmon Young, on the verge of being a bust, has become a quality hitter this season. Everyone thought Vladimir Guerrero was dead after last season. Aubrey Huff is a legitimate MVP candidate in the NL (I'm not saying he's ahead of Pujols or Votto, but he's been great for the Giants).

    I meant just for the Twins. I agree that Delmon Young has come along nicely this season. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come for him, and Crain. They were both DFA candidates.

    Either Crain or Delmon for sure.

    I would go witb Pavano. He has a shot to to win 20 games this season. I figure he has six more starts before the end of the season. He has 15 wins right now. If he can go say 5-1 he would finish 20-10!
