Manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday that Mike Napoli (shoulder) may not be ready to catch by Opening Day.
So much for everyone's favorite sleeper. I saw him getting drafted in the 10th round in some drafts, and i was puzzled. the guy can never stay healthy and is one week long slump from losing major PT.

I just moved up Jeff Mathis on my rankings. Thanks for the alert.

i wouldn't move mathis up too much. but, napoli does take a huge hit IMO. he's certainly no 9th/10th round BS. those folks might as well trade their 9th/10th round pick for a 20th round pick.

perhaps this could INCREASE his value....since their is talk of Napoli being the DH. He certainly has the power AND good speed for a catcher.
perhaps Mr. Gekko II is hoping to plant the seeds of doubt so that he might steal the Napster!

I was looking at the latest projections in Rotolab (great sw btw), and was very surprised to see Napoli rated at the #1 catcher with $15 value. The biggest projection I was shocked on (beside ~.269 ba) was the 409 ab. his line of 76-29-76-10 .268 with 409 abs.
