Is it too early for that FU thread?

I'm no Napoli owner, but I can see the red faces of whoever drafted him. Is this dude in Scioscia's doghouse or what, cause I haven't heard any injury news...

I just think it's a matter of Scioscia (a former catcher)not being able to stomach that defense. The writing was on the wall with bringing Godzilla in to DH. I stayed away from Napoli but he will play. Think 350 AB's and more time behind the plate against teams who are less likely to steal.

Napoli's bat will remind Scioscia at some point... Mathis going yard on day 1 had to make big Mike feel like he did the right thing, but string together 3-4 0'fer days and Mathis will be reminded of how pine feels.

I have Naps in a couple places, I'm confident he'll get over 400 at bats and push 20 HR while hitting .275 or better - which is what I'm expecting of him.
