Fantasy Baseball Report Royals

Who’s not: Norichika Aoki’s power and SB totals took a hit in Milwaukee last year, but his average (.286) and OBP (.356) were almost identical to the year before. … Mike Moustakas hit just 12 homers and turned in an OBP under .297 for the second straight year.

Who’s hurt: Lorenzo Cain was placed on the DL for the second straight year, this time with an oblique injury. It’s starting to look like the 27-year-old outfielder just can’t stay healthy.
