While the White Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend, the White Sox farm system completed its most successful week in ages.
All four affiliates finished with a winning record, as Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Kannapolis all went 4-2 over their six-game series, and the Birmingham Barons did them one better by beating the Chattanooga Lookouts in five of six.
There'll be a more detailed look at the week that was in a Farm Fortnight post on Tuesday.
