No, saying clogging the bases is overrated is one of the most overrated things in baseball. But that's a whole other argument I'm not going to waste the next 100 posts on.
Bottom line, if Butler is what he is... and we certainly don't know that yet... I'd still rather have Alex Gordon batting in the 2 hole. I don't mean that you need a guy who can steal 70 bases there or bunt or any 1985 baseball stuff. But if that #2 guy singles, Hosmer comes up next and hits a double, that #2 guy needs to be a pretty safe bet to score from first. That is what I think.
