Butler needs to hit for more power, even his doubles were down. That's pretty much it. I'm pretty sure he posted his highest OBP ever... he took a lot of walks last year.
If he hits between 20-30 HRs he is probably worth the 12 million a year. Especially in our ballpark. I do not believe platooning the likes of Maxwell, Lough and Dyson in that position will yield similar results. That kind of stuff hardly ever plays out like you think it will because bench players end up getting overexposed... i.e. Ross Gload syndrome.
