Three Reasons Why It is a Good Idea to Bring the Party Back

2.) Napoli Played Well in Cleveland

Even though Napoli had a sub-par year in Texas in 2017, there is hope for him to bounce back if he does make the team. With the Rangers in 2017, he had a batting average of .193, had 29 homers (out of 82 hits), drove in 66 runs, and had 11 doubles. During his 2016 season with the Tribe, he hit .239, had 22 doubles, homered 34 times, drove in 101 runs, and also played in 26 more games compared to the amount he played with the Rangers.

Napoli set a career high in the number of home runs he hit in 2016 with the Indians, beating his previous best of 30 that he set in 2011 with the Rangers. The right-handed hitter also set a career high in RBIs with 101, his previous best was 92 when he was with the Red Sox in 2013. Lastly, Napoli played the most with any team when he played in 150 games with the Tribe, beating his previous best of 140 that he set with the Angels in 2010.

With the numbers declining last season, they can raise once again playing in Cleveland.
