The associated press is reporting that Giants top prospect Angel Villalona is the main suspect in the murder of a 25 year old man.

 

"SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - A Dominican baseball prospect for the San Francisco Giants is the main suspect in the killing of a 25-year-old man, police said Sunday.

Angel Villalona turned himself in 12 hours after the man was shot at a bar in the southern coastal city of La Romana, Coronel Adrian Urbaez told The Associated Press."

 

Villalona was ranked 4th in the giants system by John Sickles, and third by baseball america coming into the year. He is a very raw prospect, but he just turned 19 years old. He has/had limitless potential.

With all due respect to the deceased and his family, Angel Villalona is/was a "top prospect" along the lines of Charlie Fermaint and Christian Guerrero. The tools, maybe, but the odds of putting it all together looked to be slim. I know he just turned 19 but I haven't seen very may players who if they haven't put it together by the end of their third minor league season ever do put it together. Pablo Sandoval is the exception more than the rule.
