Lee, Lidge earn Comeback Awards
Lee, Cleveland's first 20-game winner since 1974, landed on 26 of the 30 ballots -- one for each MLB.com team reporter -- with 24 first-place votes and two seconds for 76 points. He easily outdistanced runner-up Mike Mussina of the Yankees and third-place finisher Milton Bradley of the Rangers.

No mention of Tatis or Gerut in the NL? Kind of surprised.

Gerut was considered the frontrunner until he got injured a few weeks ago. People must have forgotten about him w/o seeing him on the field.
Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

He received one vote apiece for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Lidge had a great year, but his 2007 wasn’t exactly bad.
I thought Jim Edmonds would win it on Cubs sentiment alone.

I agree with the first sentence—I don’t know how Lidge can “comeback” from a year in which he posted an ERA of 3.36. He had years which were almost completely identical except for the fact that his homeruns-allowed total dropped from nine to two.

How didn’t Cantu win? I mean where did he go the last few years?

Hey Cliff, you kinda, well, sucked last year, BUT you were great this year, no – really, so, here’s your award. Just don’t try to win it again in 2010.
He should refuse it, saying he’s waiting for his Cy Young award.

unless you’re one of the 5 who have won it twice.
