Butler had a much better offensive season.

Butler had a much better offensive season.

the only things Butler did better,was have fewer K's,and a higher batting average,Dunn hits for far more power than Butler does,and he drives in more runs

Billy Butler.

Silver slugger isn't a power award though, it's just an offensive award, and Butler is far and away the better offensive player.
