The dude has done it in the minors and it wasnt a weak .300 hitter, he hit rockets...he's still 23 and i hope we can see many more days like this.

I was encouraged.

Honest question for those with more playing experience than me...

Didn't Butler work his ASS off this past off-season to become stronger and leaner? If so, and if there was a "dramatic" change in his physique, is it possible it messed with his swing a little? Could we be seeing a sort of learning curve with him and his new body? At THIS level, it seems to me that any change could result in the need to adjust. BUT, if tonight was an indication of what that off-season work will yield, I will forgive him his .193-no-homer-April-adjustment-period.
