TSN comeback players of the year

The Sporting News names Cliff Lee and Fernando Tatis Comeback Players of the Year.

I've always felt that this award should go to players battling back from adversity rather than bouncing back from a subpar season. Tatis, who's been away from baseball for years, would qualify for a comeback award in my mind. Lee is more of a "bounce-back" player of the year. Joe Crede would've been a good "comeback" candidate had he not gotten injured again.

It's almost like he was getting rewarded for having a bad year.
