For his career, Butler has 121 home runs against 164 GiDP. He averages 18 hr/yr against 24 DP/yr.
Frankly that's much closer than I thought it would be. I assumed his GiDP were much higher. |

That is a lot though. I'd guess that's up or near the all time high average for GiDP.

Let's put it this way, of the top 300 players on the all-time GiDP list, if I'm reading the list right.... Butler is the only one with less than 10 years of service time. He's currently at 219th.
His next DP will tie him with a group that includes Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Jim Thome, and Raul Ibanez on the all time list. Unless Ibanez hits one first. |

If Butler,Moose and Hos all stop sucking at the plate then the Royals have a legit chance to win their first playoff game in 20 years.

We've given Belly a lot of grief this year, deservedly so. I think that was one of the hardest hit homers to left I've seen at Kauffman. I saw Bench hit his monster in the 1973 ASG, and saw Ripken hit one almost over the top of seats before the renovation. Saw Reggie hit one to right that almost cleared the wall of the old bullpen. That one last night was a moon shot. Better late than never I suppose, but it doesn't make up for the total shit year he's had. Every dog has his day. We'll see how he does over the next week.

Do you think that they might have brough Ibanez in more to challenge Butler for the DH spot? He's starting to hit decently and at his age, he can't be a daily position player, but he could be an effective DH given enough opportunities at the plate.
