Napoli not sleeping

I wrote a couple of weeks ago that Mike Napoli may be a good add, mainly because he wasn't as bad as he had been for the first six weeks of the season, and because playing time siphon Jeff Mathis had gone down with an injury.

Well, Mike Napoli apparently wants me to look good.

After going 3-for-3 with a jack (and a steal!) on Monday, Nap has connected six times in his lat 12 games.  More important, he's playing nearly every day behind the plate, and he even filled in at first for the tragically yet comically injured Kendry Morales.

Napoli has always had the power, as his 40 HR in 2008-09 in just over 600 ABs would clearly indicate.  If he continues getting the playing time at catcher and first he has been getting for the last three weeks, he is actaully a great guy to target in a deal.  Try and catch an owner who thinks he's selling high, then reap the benefits.

Cheers,
TFAM
