If first baseman Paul Konerko leaves via free agency ? and that picture is very cloudy ? the Sox could move Dye to first because of the outfield depth they have. Dye started one game at first base this season and did a solid job. The Sox would still have a power hitter at first if he moves there, and playing first would take less of a toll on Dye's body ? he'll be 32 next season ? than playing outfield does. So the plan makes sense.
