Angel Villalona

[Vagrant]

I am curious about how the hobby is going to respond to the potential resurgence of Villalona. After having such a terrible time at the start of the year in High A he has rebounded tremendously and has 5 HR in his last 19 AB and is now tied for the California League lead with 14 on the year. For a player that went 2-41 with 14 SO to start the season, he has caught up quickly. At only 22 years old, he still has time to turn it around but the BB-K rate is concerning at a low level but the power is still there.

What do you guys think?

I want to see him produce outside of the california league first. But the kid was a top prospect so of course he has a chance. But i have no clue on how people will react if he becomes an MLB regular.

He's a true role model, just like Josh Hamilton.

He's killing it right now, but you never know with prospects.

Pun intended?

 

[Hallsgator]

he's really murdering the ball.

No one cares at this point - he still seems so far away from doing anything.

If he salvages his career - he'll be a righty Juan Francisco at best.

 

[kerryfan5]

Yes.

There were still some people buying, even during his bleakest moments..

Those people will be fueling the hype train!! And that train will run again!! Especially if the news takes notice!
