Dropping the DFA on Butler might just be the wakeup call these petulant little bitches need.

And honestly, Morales can at least hit home runs.

If we get down big before deadline we need to trade Shields.

FIFY

Agreed. I think he's toast, but even if he's not, its a wakeup call for both him and the team. This guy is "allegedly" the veteran team leader who is supposed to carry the team. He's a huge part of the problem.

This too.

Butler won't get extended as his #s will be down. Its too bad too...all star 2 years ago. He should be in his prime right now

I wonder if Texas or the Yankees would take Butler off our hands for us? They both have the need for a DH type.

I still think Butler is the best hitter on this team...there are bigger problems then him. I'm just surprised how he's fallen.

The biggest problem is Hosmer not developing into a power hitter. He should be a 30 plus home run hitter.

WTF are you talking about? If you add up his homers from this year through 2012, he has 32 HR's!!!

It's humorous that the Royals team record is 36, by Balboni, in 1985. 36. There are some teams that have two or three guys hit 36 in one year, no problem.

What ****ing team would trade for a DH who can't hit HRs, hits way too many groundouts, has a .238 BA for the year, has never had a BA over .318, and couldn't even beat either Mustard, Ketchup, or Relish in a race to first base?

I think he's one of the biggest problems.

He's the veteran team leader that doesn't lead.

Zero power
His average is way down
No speed
He bats cleanup, yet very little run producing ability
He doesn't allow any lineup flexibility because he doesn't play a position.


The Royals can't drop this bum fast enough for me.

The K is tooooooooooooooooooo big for a person to hit some sort of MLB '14 PS4 Style 36 Hr's. Come on, Man!

If you're getting thrown out at first by the right fielder, you'd better damn well be able to hit the ball out of the park.
