Angel Villalona had his U.S. work visa approved and the Giants expect him to arrive to spring training on time.
Villalona, 21, hasn't stepped foot in the U.S. since being arrested and charged with murder in his native Dominican Republic in September of 2009. He was eventually cleared of the charges and was added back to the Giants' 40-man roster late last year after settling a lawsuit with the team. His star was fading even before the charges, so it's doubtful he can get his baseball career back on track.
