[新聞] Athletics Acquire Kila Ka'aihue
The Athletics acquired first baseman Kila Ka'aihue from the Royals for minor
league pitcher Ethan Hollingsworth, according to press releases from the
teams. The A's recalled and transferred Joey Devine to the 60-day DL to open
a spot on the 40-man roster for Ka'aihue.
Ka'aihue was designated for assignment by the Royals last Wednesday. The
27-year-old had a crack at the Royals' first base job coming into the season
but was benched before the end of April. In four separate Triple-A stints,
Ka'aihue has proven his ability to draw a walk in 15-20% of his plate
appearances. His power has seemed to come and go, however. The A's had
penciled in another walk-happy first baseman before the season in Daric
Barton, but he was optioned to Triple-A in June and went down with a torn
labrum the following month.
Hollingsworth, 24, posted a 3.76 ERA, 6.2 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, and 0.9 HR/9 in 105
1/3 innings this year between Double and Triple-A. The A's had acquired him
in January from Colorado for Clayton Mortensen.
