The minor league season is over for White Sox affiliates. Before the Arizona Fall League starts and trades change up the players in the system, FutureSox releases our Postseason Top 25 Prospects to kick off our season in review coverage.

It has been a very successful year for White Sox Minor League affiliates with four of the organizations six U.S. based teams reaching the postseason. I do a brief recap of them all here.

In this edition of JPNese, JPN talks about the season nearing an end and the struggles of John Shelby III.

The highly anticipated (by me anyway) 2009 update of Sean Smith’s TotalZone defensive metric is finally here, I will take a look at some of the White Sox top positional players and compare the numbers to the general opinions of the scouts.

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.

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.

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.

We’re around one month removed from the 2009 MLB draft and I thought it could be fun to cast our minds back three years and do a review of the 2006 MLB draft. I’m going to go over the players who signed from the first ten rounds as well as any other notable selections.

Charlotte CF Miguel Negron has been hot, but Barons 2B C.J. Retherford has been cold.
