2) Butler is certainly making a case as an elite hitter this season. Guys that hit .300/30/100 with ..370 OBP and .500 SLG are at least right on the cusp of "elite." Butler's OPS currently ranks him No. 36 (ahead of Curtis Granderson, Adam Dunn, Albert Pujols, Mark Teixeira, Andre Ethier, and Jay Bruce, among others.

What's "elite?" Top 40? Top 25? Top 10?
Trading Butler means we're now playing for 2014. At some point, this sack of shit franchise has to play for the current year.

This type of move might force me to sell out.
