That's simultaneously unsurprising and surprising. The guy did hit a ton of homers but man, all those strikeouts. Considering the previous season though, I think it's a deserved honor.

K's are way overrated to use to evaluate a slugger. Its an out. thats all it is.

Im surprised Brett05's boy Joe Nathan didnt win.

So, I get half credit on my pick lol. I pick Dunn as the CPOY.

Honest question, whose comeback was more impressive, Dunn's or Rodney's?

Well since one is a RP and DH, it's kinda hard to figure up as the stats are completely different.

Looking at a quick and dirty BRWAR Dunn added 4.2 WAR from his 2011, Rodney 4.1. Rodney had the better year, an historic year, but he was nowhere near as awful as Dunn was in 2011.

I do think Dunn deserves the award, but I am curious as to what people think about Rodney's comeback year.

I look at relievers with a massive grain of salt

when you are the worst player in baseball history for one full season and the next season comeback with 40 bombs that is what the award is about imo
