The Butler Did It

The Royals called up Billy Butler yesterday:

The gee-whiz quality in Billy Butler is rarely hard to spot. So it's no surprise he spent his first major-league moments Tuesday afternoon veering about the Royals' clubhouse simply "because I can."

Or that he referred to the call earlier in the day informing him of his promotion as the "greatest moment so far in my life." The "so far" part carries emphasis.

He singled in his first at bat and ended the night 2 for 4 in a losing cause as the Royals fell 7-5 to the Angels. KC leftfielders were hitting .192/.236/.303 through Monday's games, making the position a huge offensive black hole. We'll see if Billy can turn the position into a positive for Kansas City.
