A 36th round draft pick in 2005, Rene Tosoni put himself on the Twins prospect map with three straight +.800 OPS seasons from 2007-2009. In 2009, while playing for the New Britain Rock Cats, the Canadian outfielder was selected for the World Team in the Futures Game. He would walk away with game MVP honors. He finally made his Twins debut in 2011. Although he struggled to a .203/.275/.343 slash line, he did have some big moments, including a walk-off double against Seattle and a grand slam against Kansas City. Tosoni struggled through the 2012 season in the minors and was outrighted off the Twins' 40-man roster at the end of the season. He spent all of 2013 in the Brewers system and is now playing for the independent Sioux City Explorers.
