I'm not liking that too much for you... Billy Butler should take a big leap forward this year, especially if some of those doubles he smacked last year turn into HRs. Cruz is sweet too. You can't get him to bite on Ibanez/Butler or Adam Jones/Butler? I would say no to this trade in its current form. I do agree an upgrade would be awesome though, because you gotta free up an everyday playing spot for CarGo.

I don't like this trade much. For me Butler's upside outweighs Votto. I feel like he'll finally breakout this year. Just my opinion.

Don't do this deal.

Butler will be almost as good as Votto and Nelson Cruz is gonna be awesome this year, could be a 30/30 guy.

Offer an opinion for me?
