South Side Satisfaction Survey: Position players

For bell curve enthusiasts, the 2010 season had to be a real home run. It basically ended as it started, balancing out the creamy middle.
(One weird thing I miss in the offseason: In-game radio ads that try to tie themselves to baseball despite having no genuine, natural connection. "Once you meet with the fine professionals at Dickshot Funeral Home, you'll know the memorial service for your loved one will be a real home run...")
Continuing on that theme, I thought I'd throw another nebulous survey out there for everybody to chew on.
Before the season, we ranked the 40-man roster based on "importance." In a sentence, it's ranking the Sox by who needed to deliver. If Freddy Garcia underperformed, no big deal; if Jake Peavy crashed, yikes. Overall, I think it's pretty good. We collectively had Paul Konerko way low, and also understated J.J. Putz's significance. On the plus side, did we ever nail Mark Teahen's irrelevance as an everyday player.
So to wrap it up, I figured I'd survey all of us to figure out crowdpleasingness of each Sox player with the keyword of "satisfaction." I've laid out some guidelines below, so rate every player on a scale of 1-10, and I'll report the results.
