White Sox map out C plans: From The Sports Xchange: C A.J. Pierzynski was not only sitting out the start of Sunday's game because the team was facing a lefty, but also because Ozzie Guillen needed to get Ramon Castro some at-bats. Guillen did say, however, that because of the fact Pierzynski had been hitting .332 in his last 47 games, he would be leaning on the catcher more now down the stretch, or at least as long as the Sox aren't mathematically out of the playoff race. That means rookie Tyler Flowers will continue learning at the big-league level by catching Sox pitchers in the bullpen. He was yet to get a start since joining the roster as a September call-up anyway. Pierzynski did pinch hit in the ninth with the Sox down a run.

Fantasy Analysis
Pierzynski is solid option in any league down the stretch, while Castro is nothing more than a deeper AL-only reserve and Flowers is merely a long-term keeper league flier.
