Good question, I wish I knew. I just saw in the Kannapolis game notes that they acquired him. Potentially interesting pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29andPoplar Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Potentially interesting pickup. Here is the scouting report from Baseball America before the 2004 draft: • Billy Killian, c Pardon Padres area scout Bill Killian if he pushes his team to draft the top-rated player in Michigan--his son. The younger Killian is a baseball rat with solid tools and the athleticism to play any position on the field. His game stepped up a level this spring as he hit with more power and showed a more skilled, complete package. He's an accomplished switch-hitter whose hands work well, and he hit .766-4-12 in his first 30 at-bats. He can run 60 yards in 6.7 seconds. His work behind the plate needs improvement, but his arm strength is sufficient for him to remain a catcher. He projects as a second- or third-round pick. If not for his slight 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame, he might even have been a first-round candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, but it isn't really that newsworthy because he's been out since mid July anyway. Not quite sure if he was injured or already suspended because it wasn't listed on the Kanny transactions.

Glad to see it isn't problematic. It would be nice to see a guy like that with the high ceiling and out of Latin America, pan out for us.
