Week 19 Hitters Poll: Dewayne Wise Is Unstoppable

You cannot stop Dewayne Wise, you can only hope to contain him.

Though you could also outscore him this week if you're Adam Dunn, but you can't stop him. I know it doesn't seem like it with the weekend from hell in Kansas City, but overall this wasn't a bad week for the Sox offensively.

While guys like Alejandro De Aza and Kevin Youkilis struggled, the rest of the lineup did a pretty decent job picking up the slack.

Though I don't want to imagine what the week would have been like without Wise.

RANK	PLAYER	POINTS	LW	+/-
1	Alex Rios	460	1	13
2	Adam Dunn	402	3	33
3	A.J. Pierzynski	391	2	19
4	Paul Konerko	377	4	16
5	Alejandro De Aza	361	5	4
6	Alexei Ramirez	322	6	21
7	Dayan Viciedo	288	8	29
8	Gordon Beckham	282	7	12
9	Kevin Youkilis	177	9	8
10	Orlando Hudson	54	10	0
11	Eduardo Escobar	45	11	0
12	Tyler Flowers	43	12	6
13	Dewayne Wise	36	17	30
14	Brent Morel	33	13	0
15	Jordan Danks	27	14	0
16	Brent Lillibridge	18	15	0
16	Kosuke Fukudome	18	15	0
18	Ray Olmedo	7	18	2

As you can see, Wise scored 30 points this week and has already jumped to 13th place, even though he's only played in 8 games as a White Sox.

To put that in perspective, Brent Morel scored 33 points in 35 games. Brent Lillibridge and Kosuke Fukudome combined for 36 points in 73 combined games. Jordan Danks had 27 points in 29 games.

In other words, the Sox finally have somebody on the bench who can hit.

It's a nice feeling.
