Jason Giambi -- Will he win AL Comeback Player of the Year?

On his play he is a lock -- I cannot think of anyone else who even comes close. The only think that might hold him back would be the steroid issue.

I see that there is a fan vote sponsered by MLB and Viagra. Is this how the offical award will be determined, or does the BBWAA have the official vote?

Junior gets the NL comback POY, no question.

    Not only should he be excluded from CPOY but he should also give back his tarnished AL MVP award.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    And while we're at it, how about the 2003 ALCS? Ah, nevermind...

    Giambi is a cheater, and deserves nothing.

    Richie Sexson should win the CPOY.

    Quietly going about his business in Seattle, likely to hit 40 HRs, over 100 RBIs, and batting .275...all from a guy who missed most of last year due to injury.

    I think there will be a LOT of people not voting for that cheat Giambi...and let's not sugar coat him. Those supporters of his who say he stepped up and apologized for steroid use? Hah. He never said what he was apologizing for, and does anyone think for a second he'd have come out on his own if his BALCO testimony wasn't leaked?

    The French are saving Giambi's samples to test for HGH at a later time (when the test is perfected)!! image

    Should he win? No.

    I am not so sure he will win - you can make a great case for Sexson based on his stats, and there might be a lot of resistance to give any type of award to Giambi, especially in light of the Palmeiro public relations fiasco for MLB.

    Possible. I had the pleasure of seeing Sexson hit that GS at Fenway just inside the Pesky Pole!! image

    Sexson hit another bomb last night, 5 more RBIs, now 4th in the league in HRs, and 5th in RBI.

    If he doesn't get it, it's a travesty.
