MLB's Top 10 2010 Comebacks: Wasted Millions, Suddenly Worth It

David Ortiz may be starting to turn a corner, as he's hit safely in his last six games and driven in 11 runs over his last nine. Still, it's a bit early to tell if Big Papi will ultimately prove worth the $12.5 million he's earning in 2010.

Here are the top 10 greatest comebacks thus far in 2010.
