“He'll play enough first base to retain first-base eligibility, and he'll give you close to 30 home runs, 100 RBI and a .300 average. ”

 

“Players with 100 RBI are tough to find at this point in the draft. Butler has consistently hit .300 and should give you at least 20 HR.”

 

“Butler finally put together that 30 HR potential to go along with his .300+ batting average in 2012. Now that he did it, we can expect him to repeat those numbers as they do not make a lot of hitters as big as Billy these days. The Royals are looking for a big season, Butler will be there to clean it up.”

“Motte is a fireball flame thrower who will get you his 40+ Saves and ERA that makes you think..how did I get him so late? Jason is a good bet to be the man at closer and is an easy Top 10 at the position.”

 

“Headed to DL with slight tear in elbow.”
