Mike Napoli has a very nice 12-season career:
- He retired with a line of .246/.346/.475, with 267 HR. Good for an OPS+ of 117. Those numbers are a little more impressive when you remember that he spent almost as much of his career at catcher than first base.
- Selected an All-Star in 2012 while with the Rangers
- Won a World Championship in 2013 with the Red Sox
In his last season in the majors, he hit .193/.285/.428. A rough line. And he also struck out 163 times (to 49 walks) in 425 at-bats. Not great either. But the power was still there, with 29 dingers.
