Apologies for the delay. The mailbag was delayed by Friday’s doubleheader and the temporary call-up of John Lamb. Enough excuses. Let’s answer some questions.
I’m not sure if I’ll have an MVP vote this season – ask Kansas City BBWAA chapter chair Jeff Passan, he decides who votes on what – but the only Royal who merits consideration for me is Lorenzo Cain.
He ranks fifth in the American League in FanGraphs’ version of wins above replacement. He’s an potential Gold Glove center fielder who entered Saturday’s games with a .373 wOBA, a 140 wRC+ and a 136 OPS+.
