Carlos Pena of the Detroit Tigers has been named the American League Comeback Player of the Year.

According to the Associated Press, "One season after being released by three teams, Carlos Pena put together the best performance in Tampa Bay Devil Rays history and was chosen Tuesday as Major League Baseball's AL comeback player of the year... The 28-year-old slugger batted a career-best .282 with a club-record 46 home runs and 121 RBIs after joining the Devil Rays in spring training as a non-roster invitee." Good choice?

The Yankees must be kicking themselves. They signed Pena last year and he couldn't get out of the minor leagues. They let him walk.

But they will sign him next year for mega-millions, mark my words.

Big year for Pena who is breaking into stride a few years later than expected...the potential has always been there...and now he is backing it up.

Those are amazing numbers. It's safe to say he's earned himself a BIG contract this winter.
