Baseball: Who will make the biggest comeback?

Ken Griffey Jr. is ready to bounce back once again from a disappointment-filled season in Cincinnati. But he's not the only one on the comeback trail. Kevin Kennedy says there's also Juan Gonzalez in Cleveland and Jose Lima continuing his career comeback in Kansas City.

Every year there are stories about a few players who are giving it another try, coming back to the game after being out a year or two with an injury, or trying to resurrect their careers after several down years when the consensus seems to be that they're over the hill, about done.

Griffey could bounce back but he needs to make sure he's fully healthy before he tests those hammys.

Ken Griffey Jr. sat out the Reds' intrasquad game Tuesday because he's still not up to full speed in his recovery from a torn hamstring. Griffey worked out with trainers before the game. He had surgery last Aug. 16 to reattach a torn right hamstring, and needs a little more time to recover. The Reds expect him to be ready before opening day, but don't have a timetable for Griffey playing in a spring training game.

Track his progress this spring, because if he comes back too soon, he is another injury waiting to happen.

I'd like to see Pat Burrell make a big comeback for the Phillies. Then again, just showing up will almost be an improvement over last sason. :smug:
