djoles@startribune.com Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City Royals](https://arc.stimg.co/startribunemedia/UCPNLKRVWUHKOQOXJI4YND3TO4.jpg?&w=1080)
Three observations …
• Who taught Lorenzo Cain how to hit? He has become one of the best players in the game. Just stay healthy.
• MLB is encouraged to fine anyone who violates the pace-of-play rules put in place this year. The shorter games are a delight. Great for families.
• Is it too early to wonder about the Yankees finishing in last place in the AL East?
... and two predictions
• Cubs third base prospect Kris Bryant will hit four home runs before April is over. He was called up on Friday.
• Miguel Sano will be called up by the Twins before Byron Buxton.
