  • Flowers OK with backup role: While new White Sox manager Robin Ventura hasn't tipped his hand about how he will handle the catching situation between incumbent starter A.J. Pierzynski and Tyler Flowers, Flowers tells CSN Chicago that he could live with a backup role. "I think I'm in a good spot if I'm just backing up and not being able to play as regularly as I'd like," Flowers said. "There's still a lot of education in being up here for a full season, learning from A.J. over the course of a full year to see how a guy like himself prepares everyday. And just getting the experience of being around an entire big-league season, I think it's going to beneficial no matter what my playing time is throughout the year." Defense has been an area where Flowers has developed and he could be ready for a bigger role. "Tyler's come a long way," SP Jake Peavy said. "Since I got traded over here, I was in the minor leagues with Tyler watching him develop. He deserves to be in the big leagues. Obviously, we have A.J. Pierzynski and his track record throughout his career speaks for itself. But we have two very good catchers on this roster. (Flowers is) a big-league catcher. That's the bottom line."

    Fantasy Analysis
    Flowers kind of fell down the prospect ladder a bit after he hit just .220 at Triple-A in 2010. While the scouts felt Flowers had trouble adjusting to better pitching in the high minors, the truth is that the White Sox brass made some tweaks to Flowers' swing and plate approach. Instead of reverting back to what made him a top prospect, Flowers has pushed through with his new swing and plate approach. "It's becoming more and more normal to me over time," Flowers said. "It's been a couple years now working with that approach and that swing. It's been very consistent this offseason. I'm definitely looking forward to putting it together in spring against live pitching, seeing how it holds up and where the problems come in." Flowers still has solid pop for a catcher, so if he hits for a better average and is defense continues to improve, then he might just supplant Pierzynski this season. Consider Flowers more of an AL-only Fantasy option on Draft Day because of his unsettled situation, but he is certainly a player to watch.
