While Hill had a great season, setting career highs in many categories, and recovered from the concussion that ended his season last year, he is not a good example of a comeback player.
Victor Martinez, after posting an OPS of at least .851 from 2004-2007 provided a meager .701 last year and rebounded in 2009 with an .861 – second highest in his career. That is a comeback. Aaron Hill had a career year, but he didn’t “come back” to his previous level of play like NL winner Chris Carpenter.
