Five Options at First Base for the Indians Should They Lose Carlos Santana

2. Mike Napoli

Two seasons ago Napoli was one of the most popular Indians on the roster as the team made a run into the World Series. He was a force at the plate as well as the locker room, and there was no doubt he was missed this last season.

Yes he’s 36, and he’s coming off a tough season in which he hit just .193, but he still powered out 26 homers and if he can do what he did two seasons ago (.239, 34 homers and 101 RBI) he would likely be welcomed back if Santana is gone at the right price.

He played 98 games at first two seasons ago for the Indians, and 95 last season, so he would fit right in as the answer to who could play the position, and play it a lot if the team does decide to take a chance on bringing him back in 2018.

He also would be a great addition to the locker room with his leadership, something that again the team didn’t have this past season to the level they did in 2016.
