Nap Slugs 2 Long Balls

Mike Napoli is feeling better.  No sleep apneia.  No crooked finger or turf toe.  No back problems.  Nap launched 2 bombs in yesterday's game against the Pirates.  Right about now in spring training players' bats are catching up to pitchers throwing 95 mph.  Mike Napoli could surprise everyone with a 30/100 year if he stays healthy.  Slotted as a #6 hitter in the lineup Nap could provide power balance in that lower section of the lineup.  Ortiz, Ramirez, Sandoval & Napoli are as tough a heart of the order to go through as any lineup in the majors.  You may control a few of these guys on any one day, but chances are at least one of them will hurt an opposing pitcher.  Nap loves Boston & Boston loves Nap.  It would be great to see him have a big year in his final year under contract.
