The Book on Kila Ka'aihue
Prospect Info
Kila Ka'aihue
Born 3/29/1984
1B, KC
If the two Diamondback first basemen named Chris Carter confused you last year, get ready for Kila and Kala Ka'aihue. The two brothers, both first basemen, also share the same birthdate (one year apart). Kila (full name Micah Kilakila Ka'aihue) is the older, bigger and stronger player, and he's the better prospect bet so far. The lefthanded slugger is one of the Royals hardest-hitting youngsters, bashing .304 with 31 doubles, 20 homers and 90 RBIs at High Desert in 2007. He could challenge Ryan Shealy for a 1B-DH-OF spot in 2009, and he probably deserves an extended chance to keep the job.
