Angel Miguel Villalona (born August 13, 1990) is a first baseman in the San Francisco Giants organization. He had been rated by many baseball websites as the Giants #1 prospect. He was a suspect in the killing of a 25-year-old man in the Dominican Republic. ==Career== In August 2006, the Giants gave Villalona a club-record $2.1 million signing bonus.〔(Giants Give Big Bonus To "Big V" ), by John Manuel, Baseball America.com, retrieved on June 18, 2007.〕 In 2007, they assigned him to extended spring training with the idea of sending him to rookie or short-season ball later in the minor league season. He was then assigned to the Arizona Giants of the Rookie-level Arizona League as a 3rd baseman, hitting .264 and with an OPS in excess of .800 through July 30, 2007. Villalona played 2008 with the Augusta GreenJackets of the Class A South Atlantic League, and was named to the 2008 All-Star Futures Game. He played the year with the San Jose Giants of the Class A-Advanced California League. On November 19, 2011, he was added to the Giants' 40-man roster to avoid exposing him to the Rule 5 draft. He was subsequently optioned to San Jose in March 2012 and placed back on the restricted list in April. The Giants reported on February 8, 2013, that Villalona's visa to come to the United States had been approved, and that once he arrived at their spring training camp at Scottsdale, the team would apply to the league for his reinstatement from the restricted list.〔 Villalona played 44 games for the Dominican Summer League Giants in 2012, batting .303, hitting seven home runs, and driving in 34 runs. In 2013, he played for San Jose, and played in the all-star game.〔http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_23480564/angel-villalona-giants-one-time-phenom-seeking-redemption〕 He played for the Richmond Flying Squirrels of the Class AA Eastern League in 2014. After the 2014 season, the Giants outrighted Villalona off of their 40-man roster. Villalona played the 2015 season with the San Jose Giants of the Class A-Advanced California League. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angel Villalona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
