Kila Kaaihue

Kila Kaaihue has two more HR's tonight for NWA, the first a shot to dead center field in the first inning and then a monster grand slam in the fifth. He also has two singles. The guy has owned Double-A this season with an OPS of 1.034, and that was before tonight's explosion. He's walked a ton, hit for power and now his batting average is above .300. What more can he possibly do for Northwest Arkansas? The problem is he is getting old for the minors, moreso for Double-A. Given his performance this season combined with his age, shouldn't he be in Omaha?

Yes

I don’t want to have to kill you. For all I know you’re a perfectly nice person.

He should be in Omaha

Stodolka is really sucking this year. I think once Shealy is up in KC you’ll see Kila promoted.

I’ve kinda liked Stodolka for a while because he has stuck with baseball despite not making the show long after many prospects would’ve been axed or thrown in the towel, but Kaaihue would represent a pretty big upgrade over Stodolka in Omaha.
