There is no way around the fact that Billy Butler has been a free agent flop in 2015. From the start, the signing was a decent idea at best, a long-term contract for a player with a bit of upside but also zero margin for error given his one-dimensional skill set. I tried to get excited about him before the season, but he spent the summer falling short of my expectation that he'd be a lefty-masher who could bring the DH spot back to life. His hot September has somewhat salvaged his overall numbers, but it's been too little too late in the court of public opinion.
