Gordon is filling the Cabrera role right now. Butler could be a reasonable Fielder facsimile (Fielder was 152 OPS+ last year, Billy was 140).

Austin Jackson is a fair point. I had forgotten he was on the DL for nearly a month last year. Although when he left, they were still just 18-19.

Obviously it's not a great match, but it wasn't supposed to be. Only that even good teams can struggle for long stretches. Are the 2013 Royals as good as the 2012 Tigers? I doubt it. Are they as bad as they've been the last two weeks? We'll see.
