I'm not reading all of this but if Butler doesn't get shit going by the first week of May, I'll stop defending him. If others start to figure it out and start hitting, and he doesn't, then clearly we might have to see what we could get for him (I'm not sure it's much). I think his track record of being a good contact hitter for average will come around. It's likely that his great 2012 season for power is definitely an outlier for what he is as a "slugger." He simply cannot drive the ball to that level.
