“McCann doesn't seem to be the player he once was, but hey, he still hit 20 HR last season.”

 

“If you decide to wait on a catcher, you can do worse than taking a chance on McCann, who is targeting a mid-April return from shoulder surgery. He could return top-5 production if his health holds.”

“There's potential for great value here. A 4th round pick just last season, Napoli moves to Boston, where he'll spend plenty of time at 1B. ”

“Injured (shoulder)”

“Hip”

“Should injury to a catcher is never a good thing. When the catcher is Brian McCann his value drops tremendously. Brian is still not 100%, and this is a very long baseball season where a shoulder injury will no doubt hurt the power numbers of Brian this season.”

“Napoli is not near 100% with a hip injury. Despite being able to hit 24 HRs in a terrible year last season with Texas, and clubbing out 30 HRs in less than 120 games last season. Mike Nap comes into Boston as one of the preimere bats. Health is a huge concern this Spring with the hip, he may not even start the season. Will still need to be the Red Sox man, but keep in mind it is a long season and you always want to come in 100% healthy.”

 

“On my 2013 all bust team.”

 

“if he proves to be healthy in spring training then he could move into a second tier option”
