Red Sox sign Napoli
The Boston Red Sox signed Mike Napoli (C/1B, BOS) to a three year, $39 million contract. Napoli will play 1B for the Red Sox, but he should still find enough playing time behind the plate to keep him catcher-eligible. He may also fill in at DH on occasion. After hitting .320 with 30 homers in 2011, Napoli slipped to .227 last season with 24 homers.
