The best athlete in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system played at three levels in '08 batting .279 with 11 HR 60 RBI 25 SB and 31 doubles. The power proved to be a big step forward for Cain as many within the Brewers organization projected that his long, wiry frame would develop more strength as he matured. There is still room for him to develop even more HR power, as evidenced by his 40 combined doubles and triples. Cain has good speed that he utilizes well on the basepaths and his good range and strong arm plays well in both CF and RF. The biggest thing holding Lorenzo back from being a blue chip prospect is his plate discipline. Last season, Cain had a 51 BB/115 K ratio which, while not horrible, is less than acceptible for a player with marginal HR totals. On the bright side, Cain had a stellar showing in the Arizona Fall League where he hit .333 with 5 HR 11 RBI and 4 SB in 18 games.
2009 Projection: Since he played at three levels in '08, it is somewhat tough to figure out exactly where Cain will begin the '09 season. He should get plenty of AB's in spring training before being sent to either AA Huntsville, or AAA Nashville. Either way, Cain is one of the brightest young prospects in Milwaukee's talented organization. His HR increase in Arizona is a definite bright spot. If he can bump up his power production to the 20-25 HR range while maintaining his SB numbers, Cain's stock will rise rapidly.
