Butler has no command and can't miss bats. We've said this before, but this is a really, really significant problem.
The Colorado Rockies are in big, big trouble when it comes to one of their prized young pitchers.
Eddie Butler turned in another spectacularly poor performance on Saturday in a 6-1 loss to the Washington Nationals. Though he lasted six innings, Butler was about as ineffective as imaginable; the struggling right-hander somehow escaped with only four runs charged to him despite allowing 12 baserunners -- eight hits and four walks -- and notching just two strikeouts.
