Another year and you'll be happy, just one more year and then you'll be happy, Consummate Bastards, but you're overpayin' now, for "Big Mouth" Billy Butler. Just like on Baker Street, $5 beats all comers here, of which there were likely none. KC teammate Zack Greinke, who evidently remains shook up over Brad and Jennifer, was given all the space he needs by being sent to the FA pool.
