What a stud.
Cain has enough power to hit 15-20 HR. I think the real key for him is that he has proven he can handle pitches on the outside part of the plate and is willing to go with those pitches and beat pitchers up to RF.
This had let to teams trying to come inside on him, which gives him more pitches to pull and more opportunities to drive the ball/pull the ball.
If you pair Cain's defense with a .280/15 HR/30 SB type of season, you're probably talking about the best all-around CF in the American League who's name doesn't rhyme with "pout."
I mean, that's McCutchen-lite.
(Yes, I've always had a huge man crush on LoCain. I think this may be the year it all comes together...)

I have always felt the same, he has that long swing and he can shorten it up when needed too, he has the potential to be all you speak of or more.
