Dave, the double-packs of Bostons I get from Sam's are the same way - well-trimmed.  I only trim a tiny bit of extra, and the connective tissue between the muscle layers.  Looks like the bone is the only real difference. ;)

I rarely trim much if anything off of my Sam's Club butts. And my fat cap usually just melts away and leaves the most wonderful bark you can imagine.

I think the conclusion to draw is that pulled pork is pretty darn awesome anyway you cut it.... or not cut it.  LOL!
