Mike Napoli (1B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Mike Napoli has been a surprise this season. He's always had power, but he gets hurt a lot and is hitting in a weak Indians lineup. That being said, he's still a cleanup hitter and he's living up to the role. "Napster" is hitting .244 on the season with seven home runs and 24 RBI. Not too shabby. 12 of those RBI have come since Cinco de Mayo, so Napoli has been having a fiesta ever since.

Napoli's BABIP is a .343, so there will be some regression. However, his success is sustainable if he stays healthy. A big if, but there is a big reward waiting too. Napoli could hit 20+ HR, and hit somewhere in the .240 range fairly easily. His dual position eligibility only adds to his value. There will be some cold streaks, which make Napoli a better Roto league player, but he should be serviceable in any 12+ team league.
