 Eager to get their top prospect to the majors as quickly as possible, the Angels assigned Goodwin to the double-A El Paso Diablos upon his signing.Joining El Paso midway through the season, Goodwin batted .275 with two home runs and 18 RBIs.He was called up to California in September and had just one hit (off the Kansas City Royals' Steve Busby) in ten at bats.
