[NrM]

He's had a great career. 

[Stradling]

He's no Jorge Fabergas

[OregonLAA]

MVP? How about MVISOIG?

[Dick B Back]

Napoli has less RBIs than Albert and we all know the importance of that.

If Napoli wins the MVP, I'll buy the OP a plane.

Noticed it the other day. Hadnt been paying much attention but saw him mentioned in the ticker below the screen. Dudes having a great year.

1.1 WAR = MVP ... apparently

[CaliAngel]

I should start a thread about how I thought we should have kept him all along. Those usually go over well on this site...

John Orton > Mike Napoli

[Angelsjunky]

Napoli is arguably the greatest catcher the Angels ever had, at least with the bat. There have been 50 Angel catchers with 100+ PA. Napoli is second with 11.9 WAR to Boone's 13.1, but he did it in 506 games compared to Boone's 968. He's also third in wRC+ with 120, but the only two players ahead of him -- Charlie Sands and Jett Bandy -- have less than 150 PA.

Actually, that's an interesting tidbit: Bandy has a 139 wRC+, making him the best hitting Angels catcher with 100+ PA. Of course that won't last, but still.

Phys and Hud were so terrible.

Napoli .325 / 18hrs / 39rbi's / 1.116ops lifetime vs the Angels. 

It's obviously personal.

[wopphil]

Napoli has 16.5 WAR since the trade. Without looking it up, which is pretty close to the combined contribution of Wells, Hamilton and Pujols (with almost all of that belonging to Pujols).

[Jobu]

Yeah, but his squat.

Yeah but community, commitment and something about radiation.
