June 22, 200818 yr I suppose its possible, I don't really follow anyone more than the Marlins, not enough to know at least. Yes though he has turned his batting average around, and his sloppy defense at 3rd has almost all been erased by his recent fantastic play at 1st.
June 22, 200818 yr yea baby but to bad he wont be playin 1st we we go back to nl unless a lefty that fredi dosent feel jacobs can hitt but hed prob play 3rd and hav wes at 1st
June 22, 200818 yr Did Hamilton win that last year? No, Dmitri Young won. I think that had something to do with Hamilton never had a great MLB year, therefor was not able to have a comeback year.
June 22, 200818 yr Come back from what? Coming back from having an MVP type season in 2005 for the Rays and then suddenly dropping his production by a ton in 2006. He was then traded in 2007 after the Rays all but gave up on him at age 25. Now at age 26, he has something to prove. He will try to show the baseball world that he has what it takes to be a Major League starter. If he can keep this up...If he can keep up this level of production, that will be what I call a Comeback of the Year winner.
June 22, 200818 yr Come to think of it the season isn't even half way over, its too early to decide the comeback player of the year, but Cantu is for sure on the of that list. :thumbup
June 22, 200818 yr I thought you had to be coming back off an injury to be considered for this award.
June 22, 200818 yr Although this sounds great, I would like to see a Josh Johnson Come Back Player of the year for helping his team win it's third title in just it's 16th year of play. But that's just me.....lol
June 22, 200818 yr I thought you had to be coming back off an injury to be considered for this award. No, not really

I knew he had a solid year there, but damn. *doesn't follow Tampa* I'd say give the man his reward if he keeps this up then.

I thought it was obvious, but I guess I should've spelled it out.

If he can keep this up...If he can keep up this level of production, that will be what I call a Comeback of the Year winner. His production didn't just tail off for no reason though, he suffered an ankle injury and it seemed to linger all year ala Jacobs. Then Tampa failed to believe in him and gave him the boot, which is why I'm not at all surprised he is doing what hes done all year with the bat with no injury to hold him down. I've been vouching for this guy since December, and I'm glad Beinfest gave him the opportunity to prove what I knew he could do for us and not someone else. Some of his haters haven't even popped up in some of these threads to give this guy props but at least most people aren't blind to his ability. And I never even knew the guy was such a stud at 1B. Maybe instead of getting something for Cantu at the end of the year, we should get something for Jacobs....
