Long gone are the days of 2012. You can ask Chase Headley about that, or even Billy Butler. Butler was an All-Star in Kansas City just four seasons ago, hitting 29 home runs with 107 RBI, all while batting a stellar .313. His batting average has steadily declined since that apex season, and Butler officially hit bottom this past summer when he was released by the Athletics after a clubhouse altercation with teammate Danny Valencia.
