October 28, 20196 yr Giolito is one of six finalists. That video of every one of his strikeouts this season is awesome! 2019 Comeback Player of the Year

October 29, 20196 yr I don't think he should even be in this. What is he coming back from? He had a breakout year which would be "most improved" but not a comeback.

October 29, 20196 yr Kinda agree...if Gio is eligible wouldn’t Moncada also be? Is .235/.315/.400, 217K’s and questionable D much better than a 6.13 ERA? Both had huge breakouts from their 2018, neither really went through anything to earn the title of comeback though.

October 29, 20196 yr Just now, Eminor3rd said: Doesn't "comeback" imply that you were good once before? Yes, which is why he won't win and shouldn't have even been nominated. He was never good before this year he isn't coming back from anything.
October 29, 20196 yr The only thing I can think of, is that they see it as he came back to match his once high status as the top pitching prospect in baseball? But yeah, most improved, of course. I just don't see how he fits this award.
October 29, 20196 yr Comeback player is an award Gio should get. He went from top prospect to major hype after his september to a flop. Then became very good. Most improved should go to Moncada to be honest. He was bordering disappointment status and then became elite.
