NEW YORK -- Center fielder Lorenzo Cain is not afraid to point out his shortcomings on the baseball field. After a 3-0 loss to the Yankees recently, Cain said he is not playing up to expectations for the Royals, who are in fifth place in the American League Central.
Entering Friday's action against the Indians, Cain is hitting .259, 27 points below his career average, with two home runs and 10 RBIs. The self-evaluation is coming from a guy who was the Royals Player of the Year in 2014 and an All-Star the following year.
