Adam Dunn and Alex Rios' complete resurgence in 2012 following poor 2011 seasons were two of the biggest reasons the White Sox laughed in the face of 90-loss predictions to hold first place in the AL Central for most of the year.
However, neither season was good enough to earn American League Comeback Player of the Year honors, which went to Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney.
Below is a quick look at the last two seasons for Dunn, Rios and Rodney. Check it out and leave us a comment with who you believe should have won the award and why.
