Repeat business hard to come by in NL West
PHOENIX Kevin Towers brought his experience in the NL West into play this winter.
Towers knew not to leave well enough alone while plotting a defense of the Diamondbacks division title.
History has shown that the repeating in the NL West, more so than in any other NL division, is never a sure thing, no matter how successful the previous season might have been.

Dipoto's time has come as Angels' GM
PHOENIX Kevin Towers watched Jerry Dipotos moves in the summer of 2010 with a mixture of admiration and dread.
While interim general manager Dipoto changed the face of the Arizona Diamondbacks in a week by pulling off four major trades that added top quality young pitching to a needy system and trimmed about 48 million in salary commitments going forward, Towers could not help...

Kevin Towers and the Bullpen Redemption
Tonight the Arizona Diamondbacks stand on the brink of elimination. Their season is not yet over, though a comeback at this point would be surprising.
