Three strikeouts in season opener for Mike Napoli

1B Mike Napoli went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in the loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Although the results were not successful, Mike Napoli saw more pitches (26) than any other batter in today's game. The 34-year-old has great patience at the plate and should be able to convert that into 15-20 home runs and 50-70 RBI. He is expected to serve as the Indians' primary first baseman, although he could lose some playing time to Carlos Santana if Marlon Byrd gets playing time at DH.
