The Real Reason You Might not See Billy Butler Until After the All-Star Break

Found February 28, 2007 on MVN:

The Real Reason You Might not See Billy Butler Until After the All-Star Break

TEAMS: Kansas City Royals
PLAYERS: Mike Sweeney, Reggie Sanders, Torii Hunter, Emil Brown

It has less to do with his defense than people are letting on. He's not Torii Hunter in the field, but as we all know, he never will be. He is adequate though. So if he's arguably the best hitting prospect in the minors and his defense is passable, then why not call him up? Ask Reggie Sanders, Emil Brown and Mike Sweeney.
