Lorenzo Cain (OF, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

ANALYSIS: Lorenzo Cain has underachieved for the past few seasons, even in 2012 when he got off to a good start but got hurt. Injuries have always seemed to bite him just as he was getting rolling.  In 2014 he is off to a great start, batting .339 with 18 RBI, 12 Runs, 2 HR and 6 SB through just 118 AB.  He is in a solid lineup which is finally coming around, which should lead to a good amount of RBI and runs scored, but so far he is mostly batting 7th and 8th in the lineup, which is puzzling consider how many struggling bats riddle the KC lineup.  If he can continue his hot hitting ways, with his solid set of skills he could be an impact player in many leagues. He is a lot like Johnny Damon 14-20 HR, 20 SB, and a .300 AVG, if everything clicks.   If he stays healthy (I can't stress this disclaimer enough) I expect .295, 10 HR, 55 RBI, and 20 SB.
