BILLY BUTLER AS TRYION LANNISTER
Much like his Game of Thrones counterpart, Billy Butler struggles to maintain the love he probably deserves. While Tryion Lannister is scorned by his father and sister for his physical shortcomings, Butler sometimes falls short of fans expectations at the plate.
As Tryion has the mental capacity, Butler has the skills at the plate to be the offensive leader. Unlike the diminutive Lannister, Butler has had plenty of opportunities to prove himself.
When given the chance, Tryion has actually performed well in various roles. Butler is very inconsistent in his production.
Tryion Lannister disappoints his family because he does not fit their idea of what a Lannister Lion should be. Billy Butler disappoints fans because he isn’t really fit the bill as a prototypical power hitting clean up hitter.
