The struggles of the Chicago White Sox behind the plate this season are well documented. And when you look deeper, it has been a problem for some time now.
When the White Sox began pursuing an heir apparent to A.J. Pierzynski behind the plate, they loved the potential they saw in a kid playing in the Atlanta Braves system.
His name was Tyler Flowers.
So before the 2009 season, the White Sox decided to send starter Javier Vazquez and reliever Boone Logan to the Braves in exchange for Flowers, infielder Brent Lillibridge and two other minor league spare parts (Jon Gilmore and Santos Rodriguez if you really wanted to know).
