That's ridiculous. Good for him though.

pretty bad signing, IMO. I don't like it.

Certainly not getting value on Butler. He must have a lot more money this season to work with.

Meanwhile in SF...

I think he'll be refreshed in Oakland. I'm happy for him. I don't understand why KC is so pissed off at him?

Doesn't look like a bad deal to me for the A's at all.

3 years, $30 million.

How much does this work out to per double play grounded into? Butler's an inning killing double play machine. He hits many hard ground balls and is a slow runner - a very bad combination.

Billy Beane appears to be losing his magic touch.

DH, not an elite hitter. Not a good contract.

pavyracer · 11-26-14, 11:47 PM

$10 million is a good deal for him..bad deal for the As.

Could have spent that money better on someone else.
