Red Sox claim C Mike Napoli off waivers

[MallCopKJ]

Not a bad move if they can work out a deal. Maybe take some stress off Mike Lowell and play some first and help out V Mart allowing him to go to first for a while.

 

[Zymco]

I don't anticipate a deal happening...

What's with Boston and catchers? They have like 10 and are always looking for more.

This. The Angels will rightfully want a lot for Napoli. I don't see Boston paying that much. My guess is he is moved in the offseason.

martinez, varitek, wagner, saltalamacchia... all have been injured this year.

the words "kevin cash" and "playoff contender" dont go so well together.

 

[Pine Tar]

He can play first base too. So this would be a nice pick-up if they get a deal done.

 

[Jays_Cards]

This would be a nice pickup, but I highly doubt anything gets done.

 

[MallCopKJ]

Worth thing that can happen is it blocks the Rays from getting him so it helps either way.

Don't forget the "I'm not related to THOSE Molinas" Molina...
