Top Giants prospect charged with murder
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP)—A top prospect for the San Francisco Giants was charged with murder in the death of a 25-year-old man last weekend at a bar in his Caribbean homeland.
Angel Villalona, who received a club-record $2.1 million bonus when he was signed by the Giants in 2006, wore a bulletproof vest Monday to his hearing at a court in the city of La Romana. He pleaded innocent to the murder charge.

Baseball America had Angel as the #3 prospect in their system going into the 2009 season. He has tremendous raw power, but incredibly raw in every other skill.
