Former Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Eddie Butler hasn’t shown us much in the purple pinstripes. Butler had been one of the most highly touted Rockies pitching prospects in years. After two unsuccessful stints at the major league level and a nightmare of a 2015 season, it’s time to move Butler to the bullpen.
The 46th overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft had an impressive college career at Redford. He made his debut in the Pioneer League in 2012 where he was promptly named an All-Star after going 7-1 with a 2.13 ERA. The right-hander rapidly progressed through the system in 2013, making appearances in Asheville, Modesto and finishing in Tulsa.
