There's a reason he hasn't played a full season....

He is fairly fragile. Love Napoli and he can go on a huge tear, but just like with Hamilton, expect him to miss at least 20 games.

His HR total will be about the same, Fenway doesn't provide him any advantage that RBiA did. Wish Texas would've kept him, but not for $13million a year.

If Geo Soto is still your catcher come June, you may be singing a different tune

Yeah, mostly due to the fact that he has been platooned in a sense and not gotten full playing time.

He may not be Ripken in terms of injuries, but he certainly is not Mark Prior. I am making a favorable prediction, but it is definitely not unreasonable.

Nah, Napoli will love the short wall in Fenway. He historically crushes in Boston. Texas is definitely a hitter's park, but so is Boston and he will have plenty of protection still and more PA's.
