| Tyler Flowers digs into himself |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/11/13) White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers turned in his third hitless outing in the past five games Saturday during a 3-2 loss to the Angels. Flowers went 0 for 4 to drop his average to .180 and he has now recorded just one extra-base hit over his past 15 games.
"It is a little frustrating when you look at the whole, not just the team, but for myself, this first month and whatever, I know we are all better than what we are doing, especially me," he told MLB.com about hitting just .177 in April. "I know I can be better than what I'm doing. ... I feel good. Maybe it's just a matter of running into some tough pitching or not getting some real good pitches to hit."

| Tyler Flowers proves his worth |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (5/3/13) White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers is being asked to fill some pretty big shoes this season, replacing long-time catcher A.J. Pierzynski. In a head-to-head battle Thursday between the Rangers and White Sox, Flowers came out on top.
Flowers delivered the winning runs in a 3-1 win, as he powered a three-run home run in the sixth inning. He went 1 for 4 in the game, raising his batting average to .186. After the game, Thursday's starting pitcher, Hector Santiago, gave Flowers his vote of confidence.
"It felt like we made a good decision," Santiago told ESPN.com. "Everybody knew it would be tough to replace A.J. But tonight, A.J. went 0 for 4 and Flo got the home run that won it for us. A.J. was here a long time, but a lot of us came up with Flo. It was a great night for him."
Flowers has four home runs and 10 RBI in 70 at-bats with seven extra-base hits. He has appeared in 22 of the team's 27 games this season.

| Tyler Flowers uses new stance to snap slump |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (4/17/13) White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers, who changed his stance entering Wednesday's game in Toronto in the hopes of ending an ugly slump, homered in his first at-bat, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Flowers, batting eighth, smashed a three-run shot in the second inning off starter J.A. Happ. It was his third home run of the year and gives him six RBI.

| Tyler Flowers gets a day off |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (4/16/13) White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers is not in the starting lineup Tuesday.
Though Flowers has struggled recently, this should be viewed as a normal off day. Flowers is 1 for his last 25 at-bats. He'll look to get back on track Wednesday. Hector Gimenez will start at catcher and bat ninth.

| White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers has some pop and he's shown it through six minor league seasons and limited major league at-bats. Flowers was twice considered a top-100 prospect by Baseball America, but was stuck behind A.J. Pierzynski on his road to major league relevancy. As of the end of the 2012 season, he's following a path very similar to that of Jeff Mathis: a top prospect with promise who cannot seem to sustain a good enough average at the major league level to stick as a starter. Flowers has 12 career home runs in 236 at-bats over the last two seasons. Extrapolate that over a full year, and he would hit about 24 home runs. The problem here is the average -- Flowers has hit .211 since 2011. Expected to take over as the full-time catcher with A.J. Pierzynski going to the Rangers, view Flowers as a backstop with some power, but don't expect much in batting average, unless the regular playing time helps get him into some kind of a groove (it happened in the minors). Consider him, for now, having the ceiling of J.P. Arencibia. He is draftable in AL-only formats and deeper mixed leagues for those would-be owners feeling optimistic about a batting average rise.
