The Comeback Thread

[Chef99]

Let's talk about some guys on the comeback trail. My person of interest: Justin Morneau.

"Justin Morneau?" You say; "That guy's head has been banged around more than Darryl Strawberry's ex-wife!"

Yeah, and he looked pretty bad in his brief stint with the Pirates last year. But hitting in Colorado could do wonders for the old boy. If he's past the concussion problems and can maintain a decent batting avg., he just might put up some nice numbers with the Rockies. Could turn out to be a steal in the later rounds.

Whatta you think? And who do you like for a comeback this year?

Josh Hamilton... 70 runs, 21 HR, 70 RBI in an absolute dreadful year! That can easily be turned back to 85, 30, 95 with an average bump.

I'm gonna be a homer and say Curtis Granderson. I'm hoping he can get to at least 25 HR's and over 80 RBI's on the year.

I am going with A Hill and A Cabrera in my middle IF, banking on both making comebacks in 2014 and they both most likely won't til 2015.

How about Brandon Beachy. He was rolling before Tommy John and it's been a year and a half since the surgery: 180 innings, 3.2 ERA, 180 Strike outs, 13 wins?

Starlin Castro. He lost his hitting coach last year but did that mean he forgot how to hit? Either way, I'm banking on a much improved season from him.

 

[Chef99]

I love Beachy. Could turn out to be a draft day steal. I like Hill as well. If that wrist has healed well, he's hitting in a potentially awesome lineup.

There's a lot of "ifs" in Arizona, but if Prado, Hill and Miguel Montero rebound? Watch out.

Note to self..."Chef loves Beachy"...
