Last night, latter in the game, the Yanx INF, put a shift on Lorenzo Cain, shifting to the left hand side, with only the KC 1st baseman on the right side of the INF. Cain hit a hard hit ground ball, right where a 2nd baseman could of had it, and should of, by not utilizing a shift on a player who has shown he can hit to all fields, ........

take a look at his 014 Spray Chart.....

The Royals look like they have one of the better balanced hitting teams, which does hit very well to the opposite fields, as well as where the ball is pitched, and often "Hit 'em where they ain't"...
