I don't think Mike Napoli was ever going to be the solution at catcher for the team he once played for - but obviously it is his power bat that plays on, not his ability to catch and throw.
After going ape-sheet on the Angels in the last two regular season games in 2011 - he has finished off his season in style and looks to carry his hot hitting into the American League Division Series.
Do I covet it because its a Napoli autograph, or despise it because he's in a Rangers uniform.
ReplyDeleteI covet.
I won't go into his offensive production which produced career highs in nearly every category. I will point out that he threw out 10 of 31 runners (32.3%) which is more than accepable. Even more important than that is the Rangers 42-15 record when he was catching. He calls a good game and the pitchers like him. Enough said.
