Butler agrees to contract as Royals see big league path
Royals prospect Butler locks in a contract as talk centers on rapid rise to the majors. Coach Ladnier recalls frequent intentional walks showing his value. Butler aims to be in the big leagues within three years, drawing inspiration from Scott Rolen. Meanwhile, Zack Greinke debuted for Kansas City last month with a 1-1/1.73 ERA in four starts. The Royals plan to stick with pitching rotations in today’s doubleheader as Montreal’s Zach Day faces Dennis Reyes and Tomo Ohka meets Jimmy Gobble. The club also notes their interleague record, 51-70, trailing only the Rays.
