I may be a White Sox fan but why is Peavy on there?

Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

Looking at that list, Bartolo Colon is the only one who seems even remotely deserving.

+3 Colon

Booyah, Grandma. Booyah.

Based on what everyone has done so far, injury-shortened seasons trump horrendous player performance when it comes to the criteria for this

I'm confused why Alex Avila is up for comeback player of the year. It's his second full season.

thats fine, I was just trying to list as many candidates as possible!

I'm confused why Alex Avila is up for comeback player of the year. It's his second full season.

it's just a list of possibles, I included him because of his BREAKOUT YEAR. sometimes breakout type stuff is given votes over injury returns

Also, Ryan Roberts plays in the NL.

read the topic LOL

Isn't there a "Most Improved" award? That seems like it makes a lot more sense.
