Thanks for reminding me what an idiot Towers was when he made that
decision. I'm sure that idiotic pick was a large part of the reason he
is no longer the main personnel man in the front office. But things
have changed. Chase Headley and Matt Antonelli come to mind. Towers
woulda ****ed that up if he was still the lone decision maker.
