I still think it's his bat speed. Didn't see a whole lot of improvement over a 2 year period. I'm not sure he can revive it. He was pretty lean about half way through the season and the weight loss didn't seem to help it any

Oakland was a team that was reportedly interested in Tomas. Hopefully this lessens that interest.
Good for Billy, though. |

This is a fantastic contract for Butler. There's no way in hell we should pay that much.

I don't know if he'll be Silver Slugger good, but I think Butler will bounce back a bit. The change of scenery will probably help too. Although he's not going to a good hitting park.
