The Book on Angel Villalona
Prospect Info
Angel Villalona
Born 8/13/1990
3B, SF
Giants slugger Angel Villalona is a serious, middle of the order power threat with 30-30 potential. Or at least he will be, once the teenager gets old enough to shave, and assuming he stops growing soon. A nice sleeper for 2011 or so, Villalona crushed Sally League hitters as expected in 2008, slugging .435 with 17 homers in 464 at-bats. He also crushed the scales: while the Giants kindly list him as 210lbs in their official material, 230 is probably closer to realiity. He's long outgrown shortstop, and third base might be too much to ask soon, but a power-hitting righthanded first-baseman wouldn't be such a bad thing to see in San Francisco someday, either.
