As I was catching up on my Red Sox news this morning, I came across a post at Surviving Grady referencing Big Papi's second half numbers from 2009. Then, I bounced over to RedSox.com and read about Dice-K's latest throwing session and how good he looks after the injury scare last week.

This got me thinking...

We've got quite a few candidates for a big "rebound" year this season. Ortiz is hoping to avoid the first-half slump he battled last season. Matsuzaka is hoping to bounce back from a lost season in 2009, in which he made just 12 starts. Adrian Beltre is hoping Fenway Park, will help him improve on the mediocre stats he posted in Seattle - especially last season. Even bench players, Bill Hall and Jeremy Hermida will be hoping that a change of scenery can get them back on track...

So, this is my latest poll question:

Who will improve the most on thier 2009 numbers in 2010?

Will Dice-K win 18 games again? Will Big Papi be the 30 HR/120 RBI threat he used to be? Can Beltre step up and give us the 20 ding dongs and the 80+ RBI Mike Lowell got us accustomed to?
