He now has a ridiculous July line with a .413 AVG, 19 runs, nine homers, 26 RBI, and two steals. Given that production, he should be rostered in all leagues at this point, and he's still out their in some shallow ones. While he could plummet back to earth at any time, the upside he is showing now makes him a must-roster player.

The lefty has shown signs of coming on in July, going 13-for-41 (.317) with seven homers, 17 RBI, and two steals in 12 games. He has also moved up to the leadoff spot in the A's lineup for the last two games and will likely stay there as long as he keeps hitting. He has a nice blend of power and speed that could make for a useful fantasy player if he can cut down on the strikeouts. Butler is a solid upside add in deeper leagues and should be watched in all categories leagues.
