can you say robbed?

how does Kerry Wood get mentioned? I know he made the all star team, but he was injured again as always, doesn't deserve to be mentioned

can you say robbed?

 

 

No.

HTF are Ludwick and Lidge coming back theve been here the whole Time they Just SUCKED

Wood is Understandable

Lidge coming...been here the whole Time...Just SUCKED.

 

 

You're kidding me, right?

Lets not be homers, here. Lidge is a better choice than Cantu.

But What did he comeback from He wasent Injured or Sent to the Minors

BAH

He Did have a Kickass year :banghead

Wood is Understandable

 

Lidge used to be one of the better closers in the game.

 

Then, this happened.

 

 

 

And he was never the same. until this year.

 

Which is why he deserves the award.

But What did he comeback from He wasent Injured or Sent to the Minors

 

 

 

Check his 2004 & 2005 years.

 

Then check his 2006 & 2007 years.

 

Then check what he did this year.

 

You might just get the answer.

Ludwick got votes?

Lidge deserved it all the way, and if anyone says otherwise then please back it up.

The man struggled last year, got demoted from the closers role for a time. Comes back this year and goes PERFECT in save opportunities.

 

EDIT - Struggled last 2 years I should say.

cantu still should have won IMO. No one expected Cantu to be this good everyone thought he was gunna suck...at least people knew lidge was to be decent.

Lidge went from THE lights-out closer to a man that made Kevin Gregg look like Mariano Rivera. And he came all the way back. That's about as well deserved as it's going to get.

Still think Cantu should have won. But lidge deserved it.

Lidge deserved it imo. Ludwick was never great though so i dont know what hes coming back from.

 

Wow i still remeber when Pujols hit that bomb and Pettite's reaction to it. WOW

lidge deserved it. although ludwick shouldn't be in the conversation because he didn't comeback from anything, he just improved. it's called the comeback player of the year not the most improved player of the year.

Kerry Wood is STILL overrated, I see.

Kerry Wood is STILL overrated, I see.

 

 

Wood had a spectacular 2003 season and has comeback from several injuries to gain 34 saves this year with a 1.08 WHIP and 84 K's to 18 BB's in 67 innings.

 

It's not as if he's undeserving (like Ryan Ludwick).

See I bet now this means Lidge'll have a Mitch Williams moment this postseason, whehter it be in the NLDS or further down the road

Ludwick got votes?

Ludwick was not a comeback player, more of a breakout player
