Mike Napoli

[johnsamo]

A lot of rookies have a moneymoon period before the league adjusts and they cool off, but with Napoli, he's getting better as he goes to he may not be a honeymoon rookie, he may be this good. He's taking more walks, and that's where he's getting the homers.... Major tenet of hitting: IF you don't swing at bad pitches, they'll throw you good pitches to hit.

[johnsamo]

I'm sold... He hits to all fields, for power, takes walks, a quick swing to pull inside pitches... I don't think it's a rookie honeymoon.

Wow 2 homeruns and 3 runs, I'm glad I dropped Varitek for him a couple of days ago.

Gotta love nappy behind the plate, I had Willingham for his hot streak, then droped him for nappy when he had 4 HR...so I've got 14 HR outta my catcher spot so far I'm stayin Nappy, could he be the next coming of Piazza?

[Amazing Oopah]

blah. Now I'm gonna drop Martin for him, and he'll go cold while Martin gets picked up and starts hitting dingers

[The Loveable Losers]

One thing to keep in mind is that Martin now sits 1 out of every 5 games at the very least - Hall is Hendrickson's personal catcher.

would it be wise to pick up the napster and drop vtek?

[Knicks4ever]

i should drop estrada for him right?

[checkers]

Is this kid that good as advertised ??
Should I drop J Lopez for Napoli ???

J Lopez such a disappointment so far ...

i should drop estrada for him right?

Depends on your needs. Estrada for average, Napoli for power (his average won't stay up there).
I, unfortunately, have to bench Napoli for Estrada, because my league counts batter strikeouts, but he's the catcher to have right now.
