Kevin Towers had certainly made easier decisions in his life. Which tie to wear, which restaurant to eat lunch in and which route to take to get to work were all simple choices compared to the one he faced in June 2004.

Posted: 16th July 2009 by vacant in rumorsTags: Arizona Diamondbacks, Rene Tosoni
The MLB.com active roster of the Arizona Diamondbacks has minor-leaguer Rene Tosoni listed under the same heading as Justin Upton and Chris Young. Coincidence, or the exordium of a trade?
