AT&T Park was built for Cain.

I do not like this deal popping out now while the Phils are in talks with Hamels for an extension.

Cain has gotten more groundballs every year while continually improving his K/BB ratio.

Fly ball pitcher that spends half the season in a park that's notoriously hard to hit home runs out of. Hell Cain in general doesn't surrender many home runs. I love the signing.
