What to expect from Lorenzo Cain

Outfielder Lorenzo Cain last played for the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2010 season, and that winter he was traded to the Kansas City Royals (along with shortstop Alcides Escobar and prospect pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress) for pitcher Zach Greinke and shortstop Yunieski Betancourt. Cain had been with the big league club for 43 games and 153 plate appearances, and had put up a solid rookie slash of .303/.348/.415. His OPS was .763. (His career OPS actually remains at .763.) He went to the Royals with a reputation for very good defense and plenty of speed.
