WANTED & UNWANTED » roster that causes drama in the locker

MILWAUKEE — Lorenzo Cain will be back in the lineup Tuesday when the Milwaukee Brewers open a two-game interleague set with Cain’s former team Andy Isabella Jersey , the Kansas City Royals, at Miller Park.

Cain sat out Sunday when the Brewers wrapped up a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a scheduled day off for the veteran center fielder, who ha played every game since May 23 but also a chance for him to rest a nagging groin injury and get two full days off his feet before facing his former team.

The 32-year-old has been everything the Milwaukee Brewers had hoped for when they signed him to a franchise-record $80 million contract during the winter.

Cain is among the team leaders in almost every offensive category this season: hits (71), walks (43), on-base percentage (.394). He is second in doubles (15), batting average (.291) and .OPS (.832).

He also has been something of a workhorse, appearing in 72 games — just one fewer than team leader Travis Shaw — while making 70 starts. He leads the team with 312 plate appearances and 265 at-bats.

“Winning games is the most important part Zach Allen Jersey ,” Cain said. “It’s still early in the season and we have a long way to go, but winning consistently, winning series, that’s our main goal.”

Shaw should also be back in the lineup. He left Sunday’s game when he tweaked an already-sore right wrist during a third-inning at-bat. He missed two games with the same injury earlier in the week against Pittsburgh but started all four games against St. Louis.

“This is something I’ve been dealing with for a while now and a couple of swings here and there will get it every now and then,” Shaw said. “It’ll be nice to have almost two full days off with the rest of tonight, all of tomorrow and a night game (Tuesday). We’ll see where we’re at then.”

Having those two back and healthy, as well as red-hot slugger Jesus Aguilar Hakeem Butler Jersey , who got a break Sunday, will be a relief for rookie right-hander Freddy Peralta.

After making his first three big league starts on the road, Peralta will get a chance to show his talent to the hometown fans for the first time when he takes the mound for the series opener.

“I’m very excited,” Peralta said. “It’s like a dream, pitching in Miller Park.”

His MLB career got off to a memorable start. He struck out 13 in 5 1/3 scoreless innings with his family on hand to watch at Coors Field.

He’s 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA as a big leaguer with the Brewers, winning all three of his starts. Peralta has also struck out 84 batters in 59 innings for Triple-A Colorado Springs this season, going 6-1 with a 2.75 ERA there.

“I know that (major league hitters) are smart Chris Lindstrom Jersey , but I just have to pitch the same and believe in myself, trust my ability in making pitches,” Peralta said. “I know they’re better hitters than in the minor leagues, and I just have to make the adjustments, but it’s all the same for me.”

He’ll go up against right-hander Jakub Junis, who has lost his last five starts and hasn’t won since May 18.

Junis has a 6.75 ERA during his losing streak with 24 strikeouts in 24 innings.

“It’s been tough, not only personally http://www.lionsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jahlani-tavai-jersey , but as a team,” Junis told the Kansas City Star. “We’re grinding through it.

“It’s definitely been a struggle for me. I’ve given up a lot of home runs this year, so I’m very conscious of that. I’m trying to keep it in the ballpark, because when I do, that’s when I have success.”

Kansas City has faced Milwaukee twice this season. They dropped both games of an interleague series in April at Kaufmann Stadium.

In the wild world of NFL free agency it is rare to see a player like Jerry Rice that played all the years in his prime with the San Francisco 49ers. In today's NFL, star receivers are seen more as nomads rather than homegrown heroes. There are exceptions to this in today’s game, with star receivers like Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas playing with one team for their whole careers. Teams who have built their receiving core through the draft like the Packers and Steelers are also outliers. Teams are more likely to have one guy they drafted and the rest of the receivers that were either signed in free agency or traded for. Historically the wide receiver position has been labeled as the diva of the roster that causes drama in the locker room and throws fits.With that being the case Kyler Murray Jersey , in today's social media era, receivers get disgruntled and switch teams now more than ever. It seems like every year there is a marquee talent at this position that admits publicly that he wants to be traded to another team. Here is the list of 8 current wide receivers that would benefit from a change of scenery. Some of these players have had great careers with their team, but deserve a shot at a Super Bowl with a contender. Other players who made the list are on there because they are frustrated with their current situation, and want a bigger role in the offence. Regardless of why they are on the list, these receivers would be much better off if they played for these new teams rather than their current ones.
