This front office is apparently obsessed with Dyson's ability to pinch run for Billy Butler late in games. And his ability to play a mediocre CF in relief of Cain.
We all know DM loves LFBGwPC (Lightning Fast Black Guys who Play Center Field).
Re: Billy and the DH spot
The obsession with rotating hitters through the DH spot is annoying. The teams that got decent offensive production out of that spot are the teams that had a full-time DH.
A Royals team without Billy Butler is a Royals team that is worse hitting the baseball/worse offensively, any way you slice it. And also extremely LH-dominant.
They would need to acquire another quality RH bat to replace Billy, and odds are that bat will be even more expensive than he is (If you want to get one that can hit 3-4-5.)
