Royals Kila Kaaihue

What do you know about this guy? I guess he's in AA and he's hit 25 home runs and is batting .310. He's leading his league in home runs, on base percentage, and and OPS. The guy already has 80 walks. I don't know where he came from. I didn't hear about him before this year. We are in need of a good first basement. The guy is 24 years old....when do you think he's up for a promotion?

Coach · 07-26-2008, 01:57 PM

I do believe he will come up in the September call-ups. Although the way he's been playing, he does deserve a chance to come up before September, IMHO.

Is his first name pronounced like "Killah". That'd be cool

That's be a hoot to hear the crowd chant "KILLAH!" when he steps in the box.

To play devil's advocate, this is his third straight year playing in Double A, so I wouldn't get too excited about his performance as he may have just figured out the league a bit.

However, I agree that he should get a shot in September call-ups, but considering Shealy can't get a chance over Gload, I'm not optimistic he will see many ABs.

Ya but Shealy has already been up and we know he sucks already. How long was Kila in AA though? I only could find his last year stats. Looked like he batted only like .251 with 20 or so homers

eazyb81 · 07-26-2008, 02:11 PM

In 2006, Kila played 102 games in AA and had a line of 202/305/303 with just 6 HR.

In 2007, Kila played 70 games in AA and had a line of 246/359/447 with 12 HR.

Who knows, maybe he's another Aviles, but I'm not going to get too excited yet.

Also, I wouldn't say Shealy sucks, he only had one bad season and we're ready to completely give up on him? He's doing really good this year in Omaha, currently has an 888 OPS with 15 HR.

Is Gload that bad? We took in our first game last night and he did alright but then again I haven't kept up with them the last year or two. It's been several years since we had been and we all had a good time at the K last night. Game was good and not a blow out. We will try and make another one before the year is over!

BigRock · 07-29-2008, 04:18 AM

Just an FYI, they brought him up to Triple A Monday night. Dunno what that means for Shealy.

StcChief · 07-29-2008, 06:53 AM

on his way outta KC organization

Demonpenz · 07-29-2008, 07:44 AM

Gload isn't bad. He just doesn't hit enough to be an everyday player, it isn't even close to the production you should get out of a guy playing 1b

Sweet, I hadn't heard that. Maybe they are legitimately considering bringing him up in September.

eazyb81 · 07-29-2008, 09:42 AM

Awesome, now we have two slugging 1st baseman in Omaha and zero in Kansas City.

tk13 · 07-29-2008, 09:43 AM

Gload is a perfect bench player. He used to be a guy who could come in off the bench and hit .300 and pop 10 homers, which are good numbers. He's probably been exposed playing everyday though. I say let Kila hit AAA pitching for a while.
