    With Xavier Nady as a teammate and the two best catchers in the country also from California, Tonis got lost in the shuffle a bit this spring. His stock has risen lately and he projects, at worst, as a solid second-rounder. He's a tough, intense player who swings the bat well and is a solid defender. He has a plus arm, good quickness behind the plate and can stop a running game. He was charged with only one passed ball all year.
