“Santana is much more valuable in leagues that value OBP, as he doesn't carry an impressive AVG. Tough to argue with anything else, though.”

 

“got it together in the 2nd half of the season hitting .278 with 13 HR”

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

“We're not ready to give up on Santana, who showed what he's capable of in the second half of last season (13 HR, 46 RBI).”

“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. ”

“Carlos started last season out ICE COLD before getting hot in the end to save himself with 18 HRs and nearly 80 RBIs. The batting average was horrible at .252, and if there is a chance to grab Santana as a lower valued player. Now would be that time. 30 HRs is easily in his future every year.”

“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.”
