In our newest FutureSox feature, we award the best and present the worst of the month. Think of it as the monthly version of hot and cold. A Baron hurler and a former Sycamore slugger earned top honors.

Check out our newest feature, JPNese. It is the “blog” of Barons’ season ticket holder and FutureSox writer, John Norris. In his first post, he focuses on Dayan Viciedo.

The Barons have one of the best records in the minors, but have lost a lot of the talent that got them the first half title in the Southern League’s South Division.

Dayan Viciedo, the big money international signing for the White Sox this past offseason, has been a hot topic for conversation this year and unfortunately not all of the talk has been good. I’m going to break down his season to date and see what conclusions I come to.

With the White Sox, Knights and Barons on All-Star break, it’s time to release our newest prospects rankings.

Kevin Goldstein, Managing Partner of Baseball Prospectus Entertainment Ventures, and former senior writer for Baseball America, took the time out to speak to FutureSox.com about the Sox minor league system as a whole, as well as specific players currently in the organization.

The team with the best record in the minors had 11 players named to the Southern League All-Star game that will take place in Birmingham July 13.

Tyler Flowers and Dayan Viciedo will be able to showcase their talent on a national stage during the 2009 Futures Game.
