Of course, he's still just 16 but really, he appears to be holding his own in low-A ball, where the players are around 19-21 years old if they are good prospects. They also commented that he's "as stocky as a 10-year Major League veteran and might be asked to watch his weight as he learns more about his craft."Down 0-2 in the count, Villalona shortened up on his swing and dumped a single into left field in his first at-bat against a squad of Milwaukee Brewers farmhands. He was grazed on his helmet in his next at-bat but stayed in the game and came around to score.
If that's so, then I would suggest that the Giants hire a cook to cook healthy meals for Villalona so that he's not out there munching on fast foods (which he could hog out on, now that he has money and there is fast food joints at every corner). Or maybe work out something with the local Nutrisystem or Jenny Craig franchise. They provide food related to weight loss but I don't see how they wouldn't be able to adjust their meal plans for healthy meals for an adult athlete.
