Much of fielding is acquired skill, not all. Its a skill so to speak to be able to see the ball off the bat, or to be able to scoopnone out of the dirt. I hardly see how that has anything to do with being athletic or not. Like I said, being athletic is certainly helpful in baseball, that is obvious, but it is definitely not required.

And if you think Billy Butler is more athletic than 99% of all males I dont know what to tell you, except laugh. Hes probably more athletic than like half of all people and that is realllllly pushing it.
