Angel Villalona now at 250 pounds

Giants prospect first baseman Angel Villalona said Friday that he has lost 40 pounds.

Villalona is back with the Giants' after missing the past three seasons due to a murder charge in the Dominican Republic which was eventually dropped. The 22-year-old was at 290 pounds when his visa was rejected last year, but he's at 250 this spring. However, given that his stock was on the decline even before the murder charge, it's tough to take him seriously as a prospect at this point.
