Flowers powers Sox victory: White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers got the start for the third Sunday in a row against the Cubs, and finally showed some power, going 2 for 4 with a double and a home run, a solo shot in the fifth inning. Flowers also scored two runs and drove one in, as the White Sox defeated the Cubs, 6-0. (Updated 05/20/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Flowers has been the backup for the Sox this season, and has appeared in just nine games on the season, with most of them coming on Sunday day games. He is batting just .214 in 28 at bats with two home runs, and is showing no reason for the team to give him more of the share behind the plate, so do not considered him worth owning outside of deeper AL-only formats.

05/07/2012 23:51 Indians achieve twinbill sweep of ChiSox
Shelley Duncan's RBI double in the eighth inning gave the Cleveland Indians a soggy 3-2 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night and a sweep of their day-night doubleheader.
When the White Sox traded Javier Vazquez to the Braves way back in 2008, Tyler Flowers was considered the prize return. So why isn't he the team's starting catcher yet? Well, for one thing, A.J. Pierzynski hasn't done anything to lose the job. For another, Flowers fizzled in the upper levels of the minors, hitting only .220 over a full season at Triple-A Charlotte in 2010. But one bad season isn't enough to ruin a prospect, and sure enough, Flowers bounced back to hit .261 with an .890 OPS at Triple-A Charlotte last year, homering 15 times in only 222 at-bats. The performance was promising enough that the White Sox didn't hesitate to make him their starting catcher with the division title still on the line when Pierzynski went down with a fractured wrist in mid-August. Though Flowers had his struggles at the major-league level, his five homers in 110 at-bats suggest he's ready for a shot at a full-time job, and with the White Sox in rebuilding mode, he could get it at age 26. He'll likely bide his time behind Pierzynski to begin the year, but don't be surprised if Flowers' power makes him the go-to guy come midseason. He's a worthy sleeper in leagues that use two catchers. (Updated 1/11/12)
