My only guess as to why Dayton Moore didn't hold off on Butler and didn't give Gordon some time in AAA is his relative lack of inexperience in the front office. He's was heavily involved in scouting and player development for the vast majority of his time in Atlanta and his first instinct is probably the best/fastest way for a player to develop.
Other than that, I just don't get how the General Manager for a team on such a tight budget could overlook the value of keeping a player for an extra year during his peak seasons.
