SOX 2010 PLAYER POWER POLL [Start of the season]

A look at the Sox 25-man roster ranked by talent, makeup and value to the team

1. RHP Jake Peavy - A potential 20-game winner and 200-plus strikeout guy.

3. 2B Gordon Beckham - The future of the club, and the present No. 2 hitter in the lineup.

6. RF Carlos Quentin
7. LHP John Danks
8. 1B Paul Konerko - Da Captain
9. RHP Gavin Floyd
10. LHP Matt Thornton - No longer under the radar as an elite lefty reliever.

13. LF Juan Pierre
14. 3B Mark Teahen
15. RHP J.J. Putz
