I was never a Billy Buter fan because he just didn't bring enough tools to the table. However, he is a very likeable guy. If he can somehow revert to his 2012 form, he'll be a productive player for the A's. I'm actually rooting for him to do that, as long as he doesn't ever beat the Royals.
I still think Billy Beane was crazy to give him $30 million, and I (along with everybody else) would be livid if Dayton Moore had done that. However, Billy Beane is no idiot, and maybe he sees something that nobody else does. |

Beane is no idiot obv. But I'll say that if reports at the time were true - and he really turned down Wil Myers for Bret "Injured every other week" Anderson - that was 10x worse than anything Butler can do to him in this new contract.
