Pyrz because having an All-Star caliber catcher is, to quote our Sox cousins, "Wicked Pissah".

Jermaine Dye...IMHO. I think he will because he just excites me sooooo much. He can run, hit, and field ALL very well. If only he could play 2nd and Pitch too.

Its got to be Podsednik he will give Paulie Frank andDye at least 5 More RBIS plus 60+ Steals

It'd definitely a hard choice out of all those newcomers. Pierzynski, will be an upgrade over Davis a big one at that, but I don't think he'll make the biggest impact.

 

Hernandez is probably the most important newcomer, if we can get a full season and 15 wins out of him, that will be just huge.

 

Podsednik I think will get back to somewhere between his 2003 to 2004 form, if he can resist the urge to not hit the ball in the air, like he did at Miller Park.

 

So I actually went with Dye in the end. Losing Thomas for the first few months, Maggs and Lee takes away about 80 home runs at least. Konerko might not have another 40 home run season again either, so it's important that Dye can hit about .280, 30 HR and 100 RBI's, which I think he can do. But be warned, he'll have a high amount of K's, and not that many BB's.

I voted for Dye. Before the A's trade we was the hottest thing out there.

He's put up respectable numbers despite severe injuries. He's said to be in good health. Nearly as good as the year of that trade.

 

Dye could be the MVP for the Sox in 05.
