	BBTF's Hall of Merit Discussion :: Brett Butler
		Butler is "one of (James') all-time favorite players," he "hustled" and played "smart" and kept himself in "tremendous shape," and with those characteristics he was the 4th best "old" CF (over age 33) of all-time.
		If a player (Butler?) has lots of bunt hit, his singles then had less base-advancing ability than the typical players, hence will be overrated by most stats like OPS, RC, LW, etc. which assume all singles are created equal, endowed by their perpetrators with the same abilities to drive runners in.
		Brett Butler, Otis Nixon, and other speedster bunters do bunt so frequently that a better understanding of the bunt plays is important to understanding their game.

		The players, like B.J. Sernoff (ph) said on the TV, their fans, I was in the room in '94, there was no way that we ever believed that there would ever be a work stoppage to the point where it would bring down the playoff and the World Series.
		But the players want to play the game of baseball, and I believe that the owners do want to be able to negotiate and get things where, you know what, they want to be able to regulate their own spending.
