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.
