I don't see it like this. Rather, it's being honest about the player.
Butler is a very good hitter, not *great* at this point, though he might move into this latter category in the future. I doubt it, but it is possible. However, he has almost no baseball instincts anywhere else on the diamond and is thus a liability in the field and on the bases.
DeJesus is a nice player. Nothing more. Not enough power for the corners; not enough glove for CF.
