#170 – Andruw Jones

andruw-jonesName: Andruw Jones

Rank: 170

Position: RF/DH

Year With White Sox: 2010

After the disappointing 2009 season, the White Sox looked to improve their bench by signing outfielder Andruw Jones to a 1 year contract.  Jones, just 3 years removed from his last All Star Game, had seen his production fall of a cliff after leaving the Braves and was hoping to turn his career around.

His White Sox career got off to a good start, as he showed up to training camp 30 pounds lighter than the previous few seasons.  As the White Sox worked towards a second place finish in the AL Central, Jones continued to show flashes of power but struggled to regain an ability to hit consistently.  His personal highlight came on July 11, when he hit his 400th career home run against Royals.

Following the season, Jones moved on as a free agent.
