Greene, 23, was hitting .303 with 7 HR and 24 RBI in 81 games for the Intimidators. He had 16 steals and a .394 on-base percentage. Greene was named the fastest baserunner in the White Sox organization this year by Baseball America.

Corley, 23, made 30 relief appearances and pitched 38 innings for the I’s. The righty was 3-1 with a 0.95 ERA striking out 38 while only walking 9. He hasn’t allowed a home run this season.

In corresponding moves, Winston-Salem pitcher Levi Maxwell was placed on the DL and utility man Kyle Shelton was demoted to Kannapolis.

Cheers,
JPN

Similar to how we did our preseason rankings, we had a total of nine FutureSox writers and people who follow the Sox minor league system from our sister site, Soxtalk.com, pool their ballots similar to an AP Poll. Therefore, the rankings are a combination of each of our rankings and don’t reflect any of our individual opinions.

We included the player’s rank from our preseason rankings and his range in our ballots. The ranges show how consistent or inconsistent we were. Some of our voters love one guy for one reason or another and the rest of us may think he is nuts. The parentheses after the highest and lowest votes show how many people had that player ranked in that position.

An exciting thing at FutureSox that we have been working on, and teased during the Brandon Allen trade, is our prospect profiles. They include biographical information, previous FutureSox rankings, scouting reports and other information. The profiles that we have already created are linked below the player’s name on this list. You can also view them by clicking the “Prospect Profiles” link at the top of any FutureSox.com page. We will add more profiles as we go and a few more will be coming soon so check them out!

Leave us some comments and tell us what you think about our rankings or join in the discussion at Soxtalk. If you think we are out of our minds, let us know where we screwed up!
