Now, all prospects are different, but I think that's a good kind of baseline to look at a slugging prospects possible timetable for an advancement (I have the idea that the Royals had Moose/Hos planned to go one level at a time, that's just a hunch and not so much based on anything concrete). Moose through 64 games (wow): .355/.417/.705/1.122 with 21 HR and 76 RBI, though he's a couple years younger than Kila was, but he's definitely earned a promotion and then some. Perhaps after the all-star break. In 2008 Kila Ka’aihue was promoted from Northwest Arkansas (AA) to Omaha (AAA) on 7/29 after hitting .314/.463/.624/1.086 with 26 HR and 79 RBI in 91 games.

Also, did you see that ESPN called the Royals farm the best in baseball... I love using periods of elipse even when they're not needed (although yours were needed)...
