Obviously we're all Astros fans first, but are there other players (maybe past their prime or have had injury issues) that you'd like to see have a comeback year?
I've always been a fan of Mauer (and most catchers that can hit), so I love seeing him having a really good start to the year. With his contract over after this season, he probably has limited value at his age and position (given the lack of power). But, if he can have a really good .300/.380/.450 -ish year at the plate, maybe he could get another 1-2 year deal.

Adrian Beltre, but despite his age, he still produces...As far as past their time players: Ichiro (would be good to see him go out on a high note), David Wright (if he can ever get healthy again)...Chase Utley.

This might be a personal revival, but Moran is really got his stroke going to start the season for the Pirates.

Warwick Saupold, reliever for the Tigers. He was almost unhittable in the first half last season, then he fell off in the second half from overuse (I think).
But so far he's not given up a run in four appearances to start this year, looking really sharp. This guy's from Western Australia, a real Crocodile Dundee character if the Astros can ever get a hold of him.

I'm aware, but the bulk and prime of his career was as a catcher. |

other players ... you'd like to see have a comeback year?
I don't know why he's not getting more playing time though looking at his comeback-type rates so far. Was he hurt? |
