Eddie Butler the answer?

    By Jeramiah Penaflor
  
           Finally the management has made a move.  The much anticipated major league debut of Eddie Butler will take place tonight on 20th and Blake, the Rockies are cured right?  In Double A Tulsa, Butler was 4-4 with a 2.49 ERA.  Weiss has been quoted in saying Butler doesn’t have much development left, he just needs more experience.  So now that the blue chip prospect is here, he should lead the way in righting this ship. Wrong, here’s why.  Butler comes to a team that is missing its All Star left fielder, it’s gold glove third baseman, it’s 16 million dollar left hand bullpen specialist; oh yea, and it just lost arguably their most consistent starter this year, Lyles. They do however, still have Tulo.  Let’s hope Butler can come in and be effective, give the Rocks quality starts, as well as produce a ton of ground balls.  One thing is for sure though, Friday night on 20th and Blake should be full of excitement.
