2011 was a fluke imo. I'd expect something similar to 2010/2012 production. I expect him to be a 2.5 WAR player going forward.

I don't really think this signing changes much in the division, but if the first in a series of significant acquisitions then I think it's a decent move. If it ends up being the most splashy move the Red Sox make this winter, then I really don't see the point.

$13 mil a year for a first baseman who hits .220 with 25 homers seems a little much, no offense.

You bring up his average yet don't post his .343 OBP or .469 SLG.
You also don't mention the fact that in 2012 he put up a .320/.414/.631/1.046 slash line.
How about also not realizing that he's a career .259/.356/.507 hitter.
And what do you know, you also don't mention how it's only 3 years and Boston has nobody else who could play 1B who offers as much potential as Napoli does. His swing is made for Fenway as proven by his .306/.397/.710/1.107 career line there.
