As we’ve gone through the week, we’ve asked you to make predictions for several Twins awards. We started with MVP, and moved on to Cy Young Award and Rookie of the Year winners.
Today we are going to ask you about the Twins Comeback Player for the year. On Sunday, I’ll round up all the awards winners and put it in a post for the community to enjoy.
Without further ado, here are your contenders (all projections from ZiPS:)
