March 26, 2012
The Brewers assigned Butler to minor league camp Monday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Butler spent camp with the Brewers, but he was a long shot to make the cut. He'll open this year with Triple-A Nashville, with whom he went 9-8 with a 5.15 ERA and 96:76 K:BB ratio in 28 starts last season. He'll have to improve his control quite a bit this year if he hopes to have a shot at being called up to the big club at some point.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2011
2010
Butler saw his status fall a little in 2010 with mediocre performances at Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville. He'll return to Nashville in 2011 and provide some starting depth, but may end up becoming a bullpen arm if he makes it to the majors.
Butler showed up on the prospect radar in 2009 by advancing three levels through the minors and then got a few games of experience in the majors. He doesn't have impressive strikeout or walk numbers, but he keeps the ball in the park. The Brewers think he can be a back-of-the-rotation starter in the majors with a little more work, so he'll start the season at Triple-A Nashville and wait for an opportunity to show his stuff in the majors.
