Billy Butler is one of the best young hitters in the game. Is he ever going to hit 40 bombs? No, probably not. But I can live with a guy hitting 25 a year in his prime, with 45 2Bs, especially when he hits .320.

Butler is falling victim, it seems, to a little of the same hometown hate David DeJesus feels. He's being very underrated by most on this board.
Billy's biggest problem? He doesn't want to play here, and the fans know it.
