- If you’re a fantasy junkie, which I am, here’s a quick look at what to expect from Napoli for your team, and, well, your real-life team too. (Mike Napoli Finally Signs)
- The seemingly super-powered Toronto Blue Jays look to be a force in 2013. Here’s what their now diabolical GM thinks. (Anthopoulos, Reyes Talk 2013)
The Green Monster is just gonna be shelled by Napoli this season. I’d almost feel sorry for it if that wasn’t part of the reason for signing him in the first place.
