McCann or Napoli for 2nd half?

[OT2000]

McCann or Napoli for the rest of the season?

I need AVG & RBI's since Varitek just isn't coming around.

Tough one...since you said Avg and RBI's, probably McCann.

Lol... as the others said... AVG means you go with McCann.

McCann easily but watch out for Napoli too. He may not give you a great AVG but he can hit for more power and RBIs.

I'm in the same situation but in a H2H league. I've been going with Napoli the past weeks, but it sucks to see McCann on my bench. I just hope they don't fall off at the same time. Well, I hope they don't fade at all actually but you get what I'm saying.

Just as an FYI the Angels are considering making Napoli the every day #5 hitter (DH'ing on his days off from catching). If that happens I think that tips the scales in favor of Napoli unless your only interest is average.

McCann has thrown up pretty shocking avg. and obp #s, but seems a little light on RBIs. That may jut be a reseult of flukish bad luck that could change at anytime.

I want to see a few more months of Napoli to see how he adjusts to the league's adjustments to him, but what I see now is super impressive. He's got massive power potential, and takes walks, so he's got a great obp.

The reason McCann has so few RBIs is a lack of clutch hitting: As of Wednesday, his batting average with runners in scoring position is .250, or 101 points lower than his overall average. That said, he's young, and I would assume the RBIs will come around. I'd say he's a better pick-up than Napoli.
