    One last poll for the day. They'll continue throughout the rest of the week.

    NOW is where you can maybe make a strong case for Zimmerman.

    Zimm is a no doubter. Nice season for Mous, but it's mostly HR driven. Zimm is doing it all offensively at an age where, at the beginning of the season, he was closer to out of baseball than doing this. Especially coming off many years of lousiness.

    Has to be Zimmerman, the protection for Harper alone makes this his.

    Topps released Harper's 2018 baseball card already.

    Michael Brantley warrants some mention here, no?

    Given that he only played in 88 games this season and he is done for the year, I don't think so.

    Zimmerman's last three seasons had been ruined by injuries. To bounce back with arguably the best season of his career makes this one an easy decision.

    I don't see Harper's missing photo on that carton.

    I like Zimm, but I don't know exactly what he's "come back" to. He had one All-Star season prior to his dip. Otherwise, he was a solid but unspectacular corner infielder, at least offensively.

    I see your point, but he was terrible for three consecutive seasons. That his comeback reached new levels for him doesn't diminish the comeback itself.

    Greg Holland. Missed all of 2016, was an All-Star and leads the NL in saves

    That's a true comeback. Not just sucking and getting better
