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

    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.

    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.
