just because a player gets it together eventually in a season doesn't mean they are worth it. If a player doesn't produce when a team needs him then his value goes way down. Garbage hits or production when a team is already out of it is a major problem. Same goes for a lack of situational and/or RISP hitting

Well, as some of you know I have taken a lot of heat from a few people on here for saying Butler needs to go. I have wanted him gone for the last few seasons. He can't hit for power. I should actually say he insists on hitting for average. He can't field and he can't run.
This year he has been beyond pathetic. He is a groundball machine and only a misplayed ball is allowing to only have 4 DP's in 12 games and not 5. The last 2 games he has been 0-game and his outs weren't even what you call power outs, meaning he drove the ball hard but it was caught. He just isn't the player we want him or make him out to be. |

I don't know what the **** he is trying to do but last year dude was rolling over on everything which lead to his league leading hit into DP ranking. I don't know if he is just trying to pull everything or what but he sucks at whatever it is he is trying to do.

Why does Yost insist on him batting cleanup? I'd love to hear the reasoning for this.
In fairness, nobody on the team is showing any power right now....so there are no real good options.
