The former White Sox and Rangers backstop has this indelible Audioslave number as his entrance music. Known as a cantankerous figure to some, AJ comes on board to take over the catching position after the loss of Saltalamacchia in the offseason, but has a terrific defensive mindset and possesses some strong pop on the offensive side of the ball and can be depended upon when the going gets tough. It will be interesting to see how he fits in with the chemistry in the clubhouse.

The beautifully bearded setup man has this gritty Johnny Cash number as his walk up music. Hampered by a foot injury last season, Miller Time is back and ready to help contribute to his cause with his skinny frame helping deliver some devastating pitches to the opposing offense and heading back to the dugout with his outstanding beard waving in the midst.
The mop topped Buchholz is back with this song from the Canadian bred band as his entrance music. With his unfortunate shoulder injury last year that cost him 3 months of playing time, Buch Wild is ready for a full seasons of work and ready to resume the level of success he had towards the end of last year where he was dominant as he can be, showing flashes of his 2007 success.

The slick fielding Nava brings some Christian hip hop into the mix with this choice walk up song. Nava is notable for hitting a grand slam in his first at-bat on the very first pitch he saw back in 2010 in a game against the Phillies, and has been depended upon countless times to deliver in the clutch when needed with a muscular frame and a good looking face making him a hot commodity.
Last year's World Series MVP has this intense hip-hop track from Jay-Z as his walk up music. Regarded as one of the best designated hitters to play the game, Big Papi has a aggressive and unrelenting nature while at the plate. Bound to hit the ball out of Fenway at any given time, this song puts opposing pitchers on notice and makes them shiver in their shoes with this nerve rattling track here.
Pedey has his head in the game with this classic Dre and Snoop track right here when he comes up to the plate. The scrappy second basemen exemplifies the word 'underdog' with his short stature throwing people for a loop, but don't you dare call him little as he has exquisite base running skills and premiere defensive abilities that make him the premiere 2nd baseman in the game today. Who's little now?

Felix Doubront: Marc Anthony - Vivir Mi Vida
The Venezuelan born pitcher has a homage to this Latin roots with this walk up song choice. Felix has come up through the reins of the farm system and helped the team out in the back end of the bullpen before being transitioned into a starter a couple of years back. With a devastating curveball and change up, and with all due respect to Felix Hernandez out in Seattle, we have our own King Felix right here in Boston.
The live version of this classic track from the southern rock pioneers makes Jake Peavy feel right at home en route to the pitching mound. With a up and down pattern over the last few years, Peavy does everything he can to stay in the game for as long as possible, and is very stubborn in being removed from the game and will do everything in his power to prove his manager's trust.

Jon Lester: Jason Aldean - I Use What I Got
The ace of the pitching staff has this neat Jason Aldean number as his walk out music. Stellar in the postseason last year, Lester proved his dominance and can be depended upon to go 7-8 innings in each of his starts, and has crisp delivery and sky high velocity that has made him "use what he's got" to shut down the opposition.
The former Oakland A has a homage to the local Irish rockers as his walk up music. Gomes delivered a clutch 3 run homer in last year's World Series that helped galvanize the team and power the offense to a victory a few days after that, and has his own unique and dynamic personality that is representative of his California roots that has helped make him a fan favorite here in Beantown.
Our high-five loving closer has this classic dance track as his entrance music. Koji was a hero in last year's postseason, delivering save after save and having a electric and out there personality that has him impossible not to love, and hard to believe that he's 37 years of age and still delivering at such a high level of consistency.
This track from the Long Beach bred band is also home to our freshwater beard styled first baseman/left fielder. The track gives him a much needed confidence boost when up at the plate, and is heavily depended upon to get that extra run in the clutch. A great guy to have sitting on your bench waiting to get into the game.
Words can't accurately describe my intense love for this part wolf-man. All I can say is that beard is beyond beautiful and magnificent beyond any stretch of the universe, and he is bound to get that beard tugged by his teammates afterwards and walk around shirtless in the clubhouse like he owns the place much like after last year's World Series parade. He's probably the best looking man I've ever seen in my lifetime and oh yeah, he's a pretty awesome ballplayer too!
Shane'o has this legendary Bob Marley track as his personal walk up song. A fan favorite last year, this song was sung in unison by the crowd that was quite honestly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard sung from the Fenway faithful, much better than Sweet Caroline and gives our wide ranging right fielder the ability to be always chirping while up at the plate, while providing some humorous and entertaining antics that show why he is one of the most versatile and fun loving players on the team.
Our third baseman has this exquisite Stevie Ray Vaughan track as his entrance song. His skills have fallen off sharply in recent memory, but Will is sticking through it and the team has faith in him that his abilities will present itself in due time and return to the levels they once were at when he started out a couple of years back.

The Aruban shortstop has this Snoop track from a while back as his walk up song selection. One of the only players in MLB with the honor of being knighted, Xander has been one of the top rated prospects in the Sox farm system for some time now, and has an innate ability of knowing where the ball is at all times and possess some dazzling skills with the bat while up at the plate. He is constantly honing and improving his craft and is always looking at ways to get better as well.
The Sox have a great team heading into this year, and there is no way that they can exactly duplicate the magic that they displayed the year prior, but they can certainly attempt to do so and are most definitely in contention for a playoff spot at the end of the season with the possibility of defending their World Series title. It's entirely up to them what they intend to do with it and they clearly have a great team chemistry to help in that quest.
