Congratulations, Russell Branyan

Voting results came out today, and Branyan finished 5th for the American League's Comeback Player Of The Year. Word has it he would have placed higher had he actually come back from something. Aaron Hill's a decent enough pick, I guess, what with his brain problems a year ago, but I feel like rewarding people for getting knocked out by David Eckstein might be setting a bad precedent.

Chris Carpenter's the obvious and perfect selection in the NL. My only quibble is that, rather than Yovani Gallardo, second place should've gone to the Rockies.

In some sports, it's kinda like

‘Boy did you suck last year, welcome back to playing well! Here’s a trophy!’
But in baseball, it seems more random. Like the voters don’t know what they’re voting for so they make up criteria.

The Yankees suck-a-doodle-doo!

Seems like you could tack that on after most awards...

He was a pretty much utility guy before this season, wasn't he?

Hell of a breakout, but I’m not sure he had much to come back from.

This award is so weird.
