Could Brett Phillips be the next Lorenzo Cain for KC Royals?

The KC Royals have been blessed with some truly terrific defensive outfielders over the years. Seven-time Gold Glove winner Alex Gordon headlines the group, but even role players like Jarrod Dyson once contributed some great range in the roomy Kauffman Stadium outfield. Lorenzo Cain became a fan favorite as a result of his diving catches and limitless coverage.

Cain, acquired as a prospect from the Milwaukee Brewers, didn’t fully come into his own until the 2014 season. That campaign began a streak of five-consecutive good hitting years for the former 17th-round draft pick.
