It's hard to envision the ankle getting drastically better once he starts catching behind the plate, running the bases and things of that nature once exhibition play begins so this is definitely something worth monitoring. It's always a bad idea to pay for last year's stats, and figures to be moreso given the nature of Napoli's breakthrough 2011 and injury concerns heading into 2012.","date":"Tue Feb 21"},"fullName":"Mike Napoli","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"It all came together for Napoli last season as he set career highs in every offensive category. From a skills perspective, the primary change was a strikeout rate below 20 percent for the first time in his career, in concert with an increase in walks. There is no doubt playing half his games in the friendly Ballpark at Arlington was a significant factor as well, at least in part responsible for his lifetime-best .344 BABIP and otherworldly HR/FB of 25 percent. There is sure to be regression in both of these marks, but an increase in playing time could balance this out, at least in terms of fantasy worth, as Texas is going to do all it can to keep Napoli in the lineup by spotting him at first and DH along with backing up Yorvit Torrealba. With Carlos Santana possibly losing some at-bats after the Indians inked Casey Kotchman, Napoli's status as the first catcher off the board got a little firmer.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"positionRank":2}
