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.

Wasnt aware he had played first before i figured maybe a couple spot starts but to have been full time this year he has been nothing short of fantastic in my opinion. I leaves me wanting more from him at the plate seems he strikes out a ton and is quite streaky but at 5m he has been a huge part of the team.
I do remember you commenting on that turns out you were right and lucky they didnt sign hamilton either
Uehara has been unreal hes the season mvp in my opinion with all the injuries this year he has been lights out. That scoreless streak of 29 something innings was pretty unbelievable
Ps. the beard alone is reason enough to love napoli
