I read that as Billy Butler initially and was pissed. Saw Buckner pitch a couple of times in Omaha. They said he was a pretty good prospect but his stuff never looked overpowering.

Looks like a pretty good trade, but makes Dayton look a little stupid for giving away Gotay, Keppinger and Murphy for pretty much nothing only to have to use Buckner to to get a young 2B back.
OT: To get under the skin of a beaker who's talking about having a higher BBIQ due to following ku, tell them Yankee fans obviously know more about the game of baseball then they do.
