If you ask Royals fans who they think contributed the most to the World Series runs, they'll say Hosmer and Moose. Cain was our best player IMO - and it wasn't even that close. I'd even argue that Jarrod Dyson was AS IMPORTANT as Hosmer and Moose, even. I can't wait to hear Jarrod Dyson stories up in the booth when he comes back for games 30 years from now.
I'm pretty sure I was on record saying I wanted to keep Cain instead of Gordon. I know it wasn't an either or thing, and Cain didn't accept whatever we offered but maybe we could have tried harder.
And look at that, Cain is leading the NL right now in WAR. I feel like quiet, introverted guys aren't lauded by fans as much as the Hosmers etc. Gordon just gets the popular public opinion because he's a Midwest guy.
