The myth of hitting more HRs at the Cell

Every hot stove season, I read posts saying "Imagine how many more home runs he would hit playing 81 games at the Cell". I have seen similar thoughts in the Brett Lawrie thread. How many Sox acquisitions have actually increased their power moving to the South Side? I know that many FA signings have been busts for one reason or another, but the whole increased power never seems to come to fruition with the hitters the Sox acquire.

 

Last year I believe it played as a pitchers park, but I think that was based on some randomness from the Sox D/pitching, overall it has still been a hitters park.

It's not really a hitter's park except for homeruns.
