Guess what?! The Red Sox have signed Mike Napoli to a 3 year deal that is worth $39 million! I REPEAT THE RED SOX HAVE SIGNED MIKE NAPOLI! Ok so yeah this is great, I mean it's not a HUGE deal like us signing Hamilton or something but still it's going to help our team out a lot. They signed him during the winter meetings at Nashville, Tennessee. Here's some stats to consider.
In 2012:
25 Home Runs, 56 RBI's, .227 Batting Average, 108 games
Lifetime stats at Fenway Park:
9 Home Runs, 20 RBI's, .307 Batting Average, 75 At Bats
So yes his 2012 stats don't look too pretty considering his batting average was .227, but he did manage to hit 25 home runs and 56 RBI's. He also only played in 108 games so he didn't have all the chances to hit more home runs and RBI's. BUT, the reason he only played in 108 games was because of injuries and that could be a question of concern, BUT once again, catching could have injured him throughout the seasons and we'll be using him at first base most likely which could keep him more healthy. Also he has had great stats at Fenway Park. I mean just take a look up there. That's pretty good in only 75 at bats. Maybe the green monster will benefit him by getting more home runs and extra base hits? I think it's great we signed him, he's really going to help out. At least we've finally signed a good free agent now. Now we should work on signing Cody Ross and maybe one more free agent. What do you think? Comment!
