PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brad Lidge has a shot to cap his perfect season with a World Series ring. Cliff Lee should be ready to clear room in the trophy case for a Cy Young Award.
First, the two pitchers received a different honor Tuesday when they were selected Comeback Players of the Year.
Lee was 22-3 with an American League-leading 2.54 ERA for the Cleveland Indians and could be their second consecutive Cy Young winner. He went 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA last year and was demoted to the minor leagues.
Lidge was a perfect 41-for-41 in save opportunities as the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies’ closer. In 2007, he converted just 19 of 27 for the Houston Astros and lost his spot as an elite closer.
