Butler's probably a better hitter, but they're actually very similar in that regard. Their rate stats were extremely similar last year but Craig hurt his knee early in the year so he missed some time. Otherwise the counting stats would've been almost identical as well. Their hitting profiles are extremely similar; both RH doubles hitters with homers that are mostly liners that make it out of the yard and can hit line to line. Where Craig hasn't done it as long as Butler, he can play an OF position, notably one that the Royals have a problem at. Butler's going to be the more valuable commodity, but not by a shitload.
