Who in God's name though Jim Thome deserved comeback player over Frank Thomas? Thome ONLY had more HR than Thomas, while Thomas led him in all other major stats and played for a playoff team... CARRIED that playoff team.
Thomas is not only comeback player, he's been considered as a candidate for MVP. Talk about your highway robberies. That was just rediculous.

Comeback player of the year does not consider team success, only the players performance this year compared to last...
Jim Thome - 2006
G-143 AB-490 Hits-141 2B-26 3B-0 HR-42 R-108 RBI-109 BB-107 AVG-288 OB%-416 SLG-598 OPS-1014
in 2005 he hit 207 with 7 homeruns.
Frank Thomas - 2006
G-137 AB-466 Hits-126 2B-11 3B-0 HR-39 R-77 RBI-114 BB-81
AVG-270 OB%-381 SLG-545 OPS-926
in 2005 he hit 219 with 12 homeruns
>>"Thome ONLY had more HR than Thomas, while Thomas led him in all other major stats"<< - Thomas had more RBI's, other than that Thome had the better stats....

Amen I agree completely. Big Frank hit more homeruns this year than in the last 2 years combined, and was not healthy last 2 years either. He should have been comeback player of the year without a doubt.
