BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2012-01-20 14:00:00	Do you think Lorenzo Cain will be a reliable CF for the royals this year? (Eric from Kc)	I do. (Kevin Goldstein)
2012-01-10 13:00:00	12 team mixed, 11 keepers each...need to settle on my 11th keeper. Is there any justification for keeping Lorenzo Cain over Brandon Belt (keep for the next 3 years?) Belt is the better prospect but his 2011 failure and inconsistant playing time worry me. Thanks! (bateman19 from st. louis)	No, I think I'd have to go for Belt, especially if you're looking to compete more in 2013 than 2012. Cain's a nice player, but Belt's upside is higher. The PT is worrisome, but he played well at Triple-A last year, and I'd have to think he gets a real shot this season. (Derek Carty)
2012-01-12 13:00:00	What young player(s) on the Royals are you most excited about? (Lucas Apostoleris from Massachusetts)	Eric Hosmer, Alex Gordon (does he still count?), Greg Holland. I'm curious to see if Lorenzo Cain is the real deal. Now that the Royals have some legitimate hitting stars on the corners again, I'd really like to see them solidify the middle of the defense with players who can contribute on both sides of the ball. Obviously the Royals aren't going to have every position filled with a star, but if Cain can be a solid regular in the field and in the lineup, that helps a lot. (Mike Fast)
2011-09-02 14:00:00	Can Lorenzo Cain play an acceptable MLB centerfield? And is he the Royals best option for CF next year? (Paul from DC)	Yes and Yes and I'm baffled as to why the Royals seem intent on burying him. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-05-23 13:00:00	When should we expect to see some of the more advanced prospects that seem to be ready such as Desmond Jennings, Brandon Allen, Lorenzo Cain called up? (tsq3373 from CT)	The talk I've heard from the Rays guys has been that Jennings should be up in July after Super Two is safely past, since he has some service time already. In general, I'm probably not your guy for prospect questions, but I'll try to answer if I know anything. (Mike Fast)
2011-04-13 13:00:00	It's Lorenzo Cain's 25th birthday. Is there any room for him in KC's bright future ? (Jordan from DC)	Yes. Not a star, but he can provide a service for an affordable price at a position of need. (Jason Parks)
2011-01-03 14:00:00	Can Lorenzo Cain hit .280 / .360 / .400 this year? (baseball from usa)	He can at least come close to that. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-09-29 13:00:00	Hi Ben Is Omar Infante a starter next year? Also, who starts for the Brewers, Lorenzo Cain or Carlos Gomez? Thanks (Ed from Cranford, NJ)	Marc Normandin informs me that he totally knew Infante would be a productive full-time player before the Braves did. Infante has an affordable club option for next season that will almost certainly be picked up, but he'd have to beat out another capable player in Martin Prado to start at second. Shedding Alex Gonzalez and starting Infante at short might be the best possible alignment with the Braves' current assets. As for the Brewers situation--sounds like a spring training battle to me! I'll give you the Brewers fan perspective if I get a chance to ask one before the chat is over. As for thr B (Ben Lindbergh)
2008-08-13 14:00:00	What’s the deal with Lorenzo Cain? He seems to be hitting a lot better now that he’s out of Brevard County; is he a legit sleeper at this point or will his K rate doom him? (TomG from Salem)	The guy is a pretty crazy athlete, so that allows for a little more optimism. I'm certainly keeping an eye on him and he's more than a ligit sleeper, he's a prospect. (Kevin Goldstein)
