| Butler likely to stay in K.C.: FOXSports.com reports that the Royals are not planning to trade DH Billy Butler this offseason. Their sources say that the Royals intend on using Butler as their designated hitter next season, as the organization wants 1B Eric Hosmer and Butler to be their No. 3 and 4 hitters for the foreseeable future. Monday's trade of OF Melky Cabrera to the Giants also helped to rid the Royals of a potential competitor to Butler as the team's DH, as Lorenzo Cain now has a position to play with center field open.

| Fantasy Analysis |
| In standard formats, Butler will only be eligible as a designated hitter to start the 2012 season, and given that the Royals have nowhere else to play him, owners shouldn't hold their breath waiting for him to gain 1B eligibility. He made modest gains in his power hitting this season, posting the highest flyball rate of his career, but he still doesn't have the power that you would like to see from a DH. He does offer enough in the way of a high on-base percentage and run production to be worth a pick within the first eight rounds of a mixed league draft. (Updated 11/07/2011). |
