I don't see any reason at all to pay Billy Butler 1/8 of the team's payroll to mash lefties on a roster where Nate Freiman and Kyle Blanks already exist, and in a world where lefty-mashing sluggos come practically free. The A's should not, after all, be on the market for a full-time DH, not with John Jaso (hopefully), Brandon Moss, and Stephen Vogt all around to fill the long end of the 1B/DH platoon.
