    OF Rod Allen was impressive in the Cape Cod League in 2002, then slumped and lost his job at Arizona State as a junior in 2003. He rebounded by reaching double figures in homers (12) and steals (14) this spring, though he never has hit for average since batting .389 as a freshman. Six-foot-two and 215 pounds, he has all the tools and is a good defender. His father Rod Sr. played briefly in the majors and is a television broadcaster for the Tigers.
