By the way, he'll be a free agent after this season. Only 31 years old with a career-high 87 RBI this year. Instant offense from the catcher position. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

He's not a catcher anymore.

[Brent Maguire]

He hasn't played catcher this year though. 

[fan_since79]

Oh yeah, I tend to forget those things. Can't squat anymore, I guess.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

He can't play catcher because of his hip condition. 

[fan_since79]

Okay, so I guess that's that.

 

We don't need his RBI's, we've got Pujols and Hamilton.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

RBI's are an overrated stat according to some.

[YouthofToday]

Napoli has full-time grit, will to win and courage to compete.

Jeez, how many right moves did the hated Red Sox FO make in the past 15 months (compared to the clowns running our FO)?

You mean the clown in the owner's box?

The clown in the owner's box w the h*rd-on for big name free agents; and the clown he hired to be GM.  Actually, I don't think Dipoto is a clown.  Just a guy who is the equivalent of a Cooler at the casino.  On just a horrific losing streak.

First thing the Red Sox did was get rid of Theo Epstein.

[Jimmag]

Good for him he deserves it.

Theo Epstein has done a great job for the cubs. He even convinced the cubs to rebuild before it would be too late to do so.

nap is the man, wish he was still here

[Angel_Fan_4_Life]

Maybe he will buy some garden shears with his millions and hack off that disgusting beard.

[YouthofToday]

Napoli >>> Albert Pujols>Hamilton>Too Blessed to be Stressed

Thanks Arte!

[FireThemAll]

Napoli can hit. Very good ball player.

[2002_halos_II]

He can hire escorts now.

[Stradling]

He's a first baseman batting .260 with 21 home runs. The only thing he does better than most first baseman is walk. Other than that he is average at that position.

Totally correct.  His bat is a real asset as a catcher.  If he can't be a catcher, he's wildly overpriced for what he provides.

[Stradling]

I'm sure Kevin will tell me I shouldn't bring up Napoli's stat line because Trumbo, outside of power is worse, but whatevs.

Really? He has a 3.3 WAR as a 1B this year. $8 million for his services this year is a total club-friendly contract.

What are the Cardinals paying Allen Craig?

 

Napoli's defense at first base is average.  His stick is middle of the pack for first basemen.

 

He doesn't hurt them, but there's plenty of room above what he's giving them
