  1. "Napoli looked pretty toasty in the 2016 postseason: .173/.232/.288. As well as in a tiny sample in the 2015 postseason. And Napoli actually was traded in August 2015 (meaning he cleared waivers), with cash, for a PTBNL or cash. Unless he shows a massive improvement over the 101 OPS+ he's recorded over the last 2 years, he is unlikely to have any meaningful trade value." Thank you for correcting me with information I wasn't aware of! I guess I am a believer in the fact that he has played on a fair amount of winning teams. I think that being apart of that culture can swing a team a long way. I am not sure what Torii's playoff statistics are like, but kind of that same effect that wherever he went, they won kind of thing.
  2. I think making the argument of signing Mike Napoli has a lot of merit. I am on board with rolling with the DH's that we have. However, with Napoli's experience in the league as well as playoffs success, he does play the role of a leader in the clubhouse as well as being a solid contributor in the lineup daily. Leadership has been vacant on this team since Torii has since left us. I also think it is fair to say that with Napoli's playoff success that he would carry more trade value than say a Chris Carter or even Mark Trumbo. There is a reason why no body is signing these guys. They do not have the same value they did even a couple years ago. I understand Nap falls into this category, but its the fact that he has proven and sustained success that separates him from the bunch. A consistent threat in the 4 hole would be a great asset for this team. I don't have a number for a contract to throw out, but I think at this stage of the game your looking at a 1-2 year deal.
