Chicago White Sox slugger Adam Dunn is coming off a disastrous 2011 campaign in which he batted just .159 and struck out 177 times. The designated hitter has gotten himself into better shape this offseason, and he's hoping 2012 is a season of redemption.

Adam Dunn's first season with the Chicago White Sox was one he'd love to forget. He knows that's not going to happen because everyone wants to know what went wrong.
