Angel Villalona is still attempting to be granted a work visa by the United States Consulate.
According to Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, Villalona is not being viewed as an "elite athlete" because of an ongoing medical condition, and is thus struggling to gain approval. The 21-year-old corner infield prospect has been working out at the Giants' Dominican academy since December and will continue to do so until he is cleared to travel to spring training.
