Shop Lorenzo Cain?

This is a thread about Cain, as a reminder. Grisham discussion (as a replacement) has a place, but let's not let this go off the rails and make this another thread about Freitas.

Way too early to think about Grisham this way. So far he is Gamel.

 

He’s slumping, that’s all. He’s also young and needs to play every day, which he should be doing. Even as bad as he’s been lately, he’s working the count, occasionally getting on via the bb. He’ll hit, if he plays.

 

He's not slumping until he proves he can actually hit major lg. pitching. A slump would mean he has hit at a high level and now is going through a tough time. So far he has shown only weak results, but in only 90 ABs so the jury is still out.

Just saw this article from MLB.com about 2019's unluckiest hitters. Cain has the highest % of outs on hard contact in MLB in 2019, and is tied for the second-highest gap between wxOBA and wOBA.

Yes, Cain will be another year older next year, but I think we can expect at least somewhat of a bounce-back season from him.
