PARTY AT NAPOLI'S AGAIN

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Indians sign Mike Napoli to a minor league deal...rest of AL cringes beches!

 

[redseat]

He still has it imo. At worst he's a good clubhouse guy to keep the young guns in check

 

[redseat]

Though Francona certainly made it sound like the Indians were just helping him audition for another team

Yes, there were no allusions about him having a role with this year's roster. Of course many things can happen injury wise, especially with this club's recent history.

At the risk of being a buzzkill, he sure has sucked balls for a guy who still has it.

.220/.317/.438/.754/96 OPS+ over the last three seasons.

Over his last 655 PAs going back to September 1, 2016, he's slashed .182/.281/.398/.680.

I like the guy and he was fun in 2016, but I think you can stick a fork in him.

Good clubhouse guy? Wasn't there photographic evidence of him fucking his then teammate, Clay Buchholz's wife?

no, where did you hear such nonsense?

Was a thread here IIRC.

then the thread was embellished. Napoli sent photos of a different chick to CLay B....not of his wife. THere was never an affair, just nudie pics of the wife that got hacked from HIS phone.

Yeah, I loved Napoli on the Sox but he's had some pretty lousy years as of late. Even with the 34 home runs he had in 2016, he had a 113 wRC+. Solid, but not very good for a 1B/DH.

Still, there's not many things in baseball I enjoy more than when Napoli crushes one. Just an outstanding power hitter.

Clay Buchholz is a fag. Everyone fucked his wife.

Wasn't Nap kind of a flop in the 2016 WS? He probably had nothin' left that late. No team really wants him on their roster, must be a tough thing to face as a ballplayer.

So if you remove the word leader, he's basically Matt Kemp? Either a home run or a strikeout or double play machine?

headline here says it all

2 more Kipnis home runs (and Mike Napoli Leadership) power Indians to 16-8 win

I think it's possible that the Indians gave him that contract so they could have him around to consider/discuss potential front office/coaching positions with the team.

he fucks woman no doubt but it wasn't Clay's wife

yeah honestly didn't think there was a chance of him making it, UNLESS of an injury
