He also had 51 doubles and hit .361 in Kauffman Stadium, the sixth best home average in team history. He became just the fifth major league player under the age of 24 to hit 50 doubles and 20 home runs in a season.

Butler showed up to spring training with a new physical look after an intense off season fitness program. As he heads into his fourth season in the majors, Butler, who lives in Idaho Falls, Idaho in the off season says he's already begun his conditioning program for next year.
In a related note, the American League Cy Young Award is handed out tomorrow and all indications are it will go to KC's Zack Greinke.
