K % I just get from fangraphs.  I like baseball-reference better because it's easier to work with, but I have to use fangraphs, too, because they have BABIP and K% and some other things that b-ref doesn't have for minors.  I find that they are usually a day or two behind b-ref in terms of updating, but that doesn't matter so much for what I was looking at above.  b-ref is great because you can look at the whole org and whole teams on one page.
By the way, if anyone wants to do that, you start here: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/affiliate.cgi?id=SEA&year=2011
You can click on any of the teams or any of the players to get the specific stats.
When you go down to "Organizational Batting" or "Organizational Pitching" it will be alphabetcal (Ackley is #1 just by last name, coincidentally), but if you click on any category at the top of the table (doubles, OPS, SB, whatever), it will re-order them to give you the organizational leaders.
It's very cool, and I don't know of any way to do that on fangraphs.  But, like I said, certain stats you have to use them both now that minorleaguesplits is no longer there (although the archived splits are still available, they are not being updated I don't think).

As for Choi, absolutely -- a big fan.  Choi@C = Ackley@2b (at least that's my hope) in terms of putting an impact bat at a "glove" position. 
Psyched to see what Pimentel can do, too.  7 doubles, 6 triples and 6 HR in less than 200 ABs.  Love those triples; don't love that he had more triples than walks.  But he was just 17 . . .
