excellent point raised in Newberg Report today:
With Treanor traded, Napoli is the backup catcher. Teams rarely let their backup catcher DH so whatever ABs you're projecting for Napoli at DH are going to be slim because a team would lose the DH spot in the lineup if they moved Napoli from DH to C in a game.
Thus, a huge amount of his AB's are going to be platooning at 1B and C with Moreland and Torrealba with very few DH opportunities, if any.
