The Billy Butler Era Begins
Per 810, Billy Butler has been promoted from Omaha, Ryan Shealy on the DL.
Also, Ryan Braun has been shipped to Omaha and Neal Musser is back.

Billy Butler is here! The franchise is saved! AL Pennant here we come!!!!
Let's hope he doesn't get the Justin Huber treatment.
Thoughts on where he plays? Outfield? DH? Where do you hit him in the lineup? Will he just sit the bench and pinch hit and get acclimated to the big league lifestyle?

Anyone disagree?
I disagree
Hitting is situational. If you come up with a guy on third and nobody out, you want to hit a sac fly. It doesn't make any difference if you are hitting leadoff, 4th or 9th. Lineup "roles" are the most overrated and overanalyzed BS in baseball. Sure, you need the good OBP guy batting leadoff and the best hitter third and a good hitting power guy cleaning up. But the constant whining on this site about Bell making minor tweaks like moving a guy from 6th to 7th or similar crap is just mind blowing. It sounds like just complaining so you can complain about something.

It matters

Butler is in the lineup
Butler has to play LF and almost everyday
By the way, the Justin Huber love doesn't make much sense. He projects to be a below average first base bat.
you mean worse than Shealy?

Who is the least happy Royal
It's a wrap for emil....
I guess Gload is the new fulltime 1B? Weird.
Who will get moved before the tradeline? I'm thinking Reggie, Emil, and Odalis. I expect them all to be gone.
Emil had very slow starts
This Butler callup re-emphasizes how out-of-balance the franchise's collection of positional talent is.

I presume that will have to wait for a few days until Sweeney finds his glove and/or breaks in a new one. :)

No TV tonight
I guess I'll catch Butler's first game as a Royal on the radio.
What's the particular question about service time?
For free agency, it is 6 full seasons.
Does Buddy Huberize Butler
