Biography:

Billy Butler was drafted by the Royals out of Wolfson High (FL) in the first round of the 2004 draft. The right-handed slugger has tremendous power, and he's compiled outstanding offensive stats while climbing quickly through the minors. Originally drafted as a third baseman, Butler has moved to the outfield, and while his defense remains a work in progress, there seems to be little remaining doubt that he will hit at the big league level.
