I would easily give this to Young based on stats and stature alone. Hamilton has been a great Nat'l story in the beginning of the year but has not played enough to be considered "coming back".

Young on the other hand was a star (not superstar, but well known throughout baseball for many years) with many forms of success. After what many if call a wasted season w/ DET last year; he has returned to form as a solid .300 contact hitter.

CHEERS to Dmitri Young...soberity may be the toughest achievement in life

but...

Also applaude Josh for fighting off the demons every day...cocaine is a hell of a drug
