Posted: 19th February 2010 by Joe Slowik in MLB
The 2009 season didn't go exactly like the White Sox planned. After winning the AL Central in 2008, the Sox won just enough games to stay in the race in the first half. Acquiring Jake Peavy and later Alex Rios was supposed to put them over the top, but the Sox faded badly down the stretch.

Standing 5-foot-8, 165 Lbs., McCluster has been labeled as this yearÆs ultimate luxury pick. Not a true running back ...
