Return to glory-Paul Konerko(has a 85/30/100/.286/season).
Big bust-Raul Ibanez(Moves to Seattle's pitcher's park, which makes his modest power even more modest).

[Absolutely Adequate]

ROY: Johnny Estrada

Johnny Estrada? The same 28 year old career minor leaguer that averaged 1 home run every 41 at bats in the minor leagues, even though he was playing with kids a decade younger than himself? The same Johnny Estrada that managed -over his long 7 year minor league career - to walk once every 21 at bats? Is this the Johnny Estrada we're talking about? Because I just want to make sure that we're talking about the same guy.


If Johnny Estrada wins ROY, I will eat my hat.
