Id just like to say how impressive Napoli has been at first base this year he has been extremely solid at a position he hadnt played prior to this year.

Napoli played first before this year. He was listed at C/1B his entire time in Texas. Whenever the backup catcher would get the start, he'd be on first base.
His hips are bad which is why he wouldn't entertain going behind the plate. Which is unfortunate has he calls a hell of a game.
I'm a big Napoli fan. I think I said on here, I know I did to friends, that I wanted Texas to resign Napoli over Hamilton if they had to pick one.
He's great in the locker room and at the plate. He's solid defensively as well. He's another reason I want Boston to win. I'm also pleasantly surprised by Uehara. He had the tendency to give up the long ball, but has been fairly clutch in Boston, a fairly small park.
