Angel Villalona will be in major league camp
Angel Villalona - 1B - San Francisco Giants
Feb. 7, 2013 - 7:30 PM ET

Angel Villalona has received his work visa and will be in big league camp this spring training with the Giants.

Villalona was on the restricted list in 2010 and 2011 and was unable to obtain a visa to enter the United States last year due to a murder charge. Now 22, Villalona batted .303/.430/.497 with seven home runs in 44 games last season playing in the Dominican Summer League. He played in High-A the last time he was in the states, so obviously he's not close to being big league-ready, despite being on the 40-man roster.
