3. SEAN RODRIGUEZ, ss, Provo Angels Age: 19 Ht: 6-0 Wt: 180 B-T: R-R Drafted/Signed: Angels '03 (3) Rodriguez has solid all-around tools and an innate feel for the game, as might be expected from the son of a hitting coach in the Marlins system. He was named league MVP and was widely considered the most complete player in the PL. Rodriguez' patience was the best in the league and uncommonly advanced for a 19-year-old. He struggled at Class A Cedar Rapids, striking out 54 times in 196 at-bats, but prospered after joining Provo in late June. He should improve his production when he learns to use the entire field more frequently. His arm plays well at both positions on the left side of the infield and he gets to his share of balls at shortstop, though his range and speed aren't as good as fellow Angels shortstop prospects Erick Aybar, Alberto Callaspo and Brandon Wood. The Angels plan on working him out at catcher in instructional league, and they believe his athleticism and instincts will play well behind the plate.

MITCHELL ARNOLD, rhp, Provo Angels Age: 22 Ht: 6-9 Wt: 230 B-T: R-R Drafted/Signed: Angels D/F '02 (23) In his third season of pro ball, Arnold finally took steps toward realizing his potential as a late-inning reliever. PL hitters couldn't handle him, batting just .112 with one homer against him. The 6-foot-8 Arnold throws downhill with a fastball that sits at 92-93 mph and touches 96. He complements his heater with a nasty split-finger fastball. "This guy旧 not fun to hit off of," Provo manager Tom Kotchman said. Arnold likes to work quickly, though at times he works too quickly and his mechanics go awry. He did a better job of not rushing his delivery this summer and started throwing more strikes after control problems had plagued him in his first two years.

ANDREW TOUSSAINT, 3b/dh, Provo Angels Age: 22 Ht: 6-2 Wt: 175 B-T: R-R Drafted/Signed: Angels '04 (13) Even without Rickie Weeks, who went second overall in the 2003 draft, Southern University continues to produce talent. Seven Jaguars were drafted in 2004, starting with Provo second baseman Josh LeBlanc in the sixth round. PL observer s thought Toussaint, a 13th-round choice, had more impact potential. His best tool is his bat. He has quick hands at the plate, plus present power and average speed. "He's long and lean, and he has outstanding wrists," Kotchman said. "Right now his power is in the middle of the field. You hear about guys who hit and ball s come off the bat different, the sound is just different. This is one of those guys." Toussaint spent his first two years in college as an outfielder before moving to third base, where he has enough arm strength and range. But he lacks soft hands and committed 13 errors in 27 games at the hot corner for Provo, so he'll probably return to the outfield in the future.
