Monday night, it became official.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Tuffy Gosewisch did indeed full tear his left ACL last week in St. Louis and will undergo season-ending surgery.

It’s a tough break — not only for Gosewisch, who toiled in the minor leagues for 10 years before getting his first chance to be a starting player this season — but also for the D-backs, who will miss his defense and ability to handle the pitching staff.

In our Sanderson Ford ArizonaSports.com Poll Question, we asked Diamondbacks fans whom they’d like to see behind the plate on a regular basis.
