Guillen said he spoke Friday to general manager Ken Williams about players under consideration to be called up when 25-man rosters can be expanded on Tuesday. The most eye-opening name is Tyler Flowers, touted by the Sox as their catcher of the future. Flowers is batting a combined .295 with 15 home runs and 55 RBIs at Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham. Veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski is signed through 2010 and will earn full no-trade rights if he’s not traded before the middle of next season because of his 10 years of major-league service with at least the last five with the same team.
UPDATE: Yes, it will.
