I would like to bring up up and get AB's to see what we have right now. I don't want to see anyone who isn't the future steal AB's

Haha, nice try buddy. Not falling for that. :)

I just want the guy to make it because of his name.

Falling for what? I would like to bring this guy up now. To replace gload to see what we have, gload has no place for the future. Lets see what he has up here. I do think it is ok to have him in AAA too. I am alittle annoyed when people are taking away time we could be evaluating players

i went to two springfield cardinals games a couple weeks ago, when they were playing the royals AA team. kaaihue hit a homer in the first game. in the second game, chris carpenter was pitching for springfield, and he pitched around him and walked him both times he was up, because he's scared of him.

he has a .464 OBP this year, 80 walks and 40 strikeouts. those are ridiculous numbers, even if it is only AA. hopefully this guy will be the royals starting first baseman by opening day next year.

in other news, did anyone notice that joey gathright's picture is on the omaha royals homepage? what does this mean?

kaaihue is hitting .381 with 3 HR and 6 RBI in 5 games since being called up to AAA.

What a beast. If Aviles keeps playing this way, Butler keeps developing and kaaihue turns out to be anything like he's showing in Omaha the Royals should be in good shape for a while.

Means nothing. It has been there since opening day.

I like this guy getting a callup in sept for brief action....

We need Gordon to start well next year.

The manager loves Ross Gload it's sad......Ross Gload and Mark Teahen shouldn't be on the same team, they're the same thing.

Agreed...i'd rather keep teahen on as a backup. I just have zero hope for him putting up the #'s during that run he had. He will be great as backup INF/OF on the team. Solid player overall for that position but yes, we have him and gload, no reason for it.

All I know about him is that an owner in one of my keeper leagues just added him to his roster, causing me to say, "Who the F*** is that?". I follow minor league baseball a bit but I'd never heard of him.

Hopefully he becomes our travis hafner....minus his current downslump...

Hafner came out of nowhere as well i believe

Kila played AA here in NW Arkansas for the Royals AA team (Naturals)...we have been in 1st place in our division in the Texas league this year...mainly because of our pitching and Kila. This guy can hit...he doesn't have the best avg. or speed, but he can hit. I saw him hit a grand slam about 2 weeks ago. Gotta love AA ball.

Kila was definitely a fan favorite here...we will miss him.
