This town's obsession with Kila is really quite ridiculous.
Kila hit a whopping .252 at Triple-A last year. He's hit better than .250ish exactly two times in his career (once during his career year of 2008, once at High Desert, a notorious hitting league). He's slugged better than the .430 range exactly one time (2008, when he was 200 points higher than his career average).
I realize he had a great 2008. But it was pretty obviously a career year and is a significant outlier for him. All those walks are great... but when you project as a .225/.230 hitter with 15-20 HR power, you're not going to get a lot of looks. His one ability is to draw walks... something that will be decreased once he starts facing MLB pitching.
Kila is not the answer, folks.
