After a really cold start, Angel Villalona is catching fire. In his last 9 games, he's hitting .335 with 4 HRs (all in the last 4 games), 9 RBIs and a 1.000 OPS against only 6 strikeouts (38 ABs). His 12 HRs put him 3rd in the Cal League and only 5 off his career high of 17 (2008) with 4 full months left in the season.
Belt in LF
Angel at 1st
Villalona would be 2 years away probably. Gary Brown dominated in A ball too.
Probably closer to 3/4 years away, IMO.
