Pirates Interested In Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino By Zach Links and Charlie Wilmoth [July 26, 2015 at 5:50pm CDT] The Pirates have considered acquiring Mike Napoli and/or Shane Victorino, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (on Twitter). Napoli hasn’t been successful at the plate lately but he has been decent defensively, Biertempfel notes. The Bucs’ interest in Napoli might be a brand new development. Late last week, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported that the Red Sox weren’t getting any interest in the struggling first baseman. Napoli has hit just .205/.301/.372 in 335 plate appearances this season, well off the .818 OPS mark he carried through his first two seasons in Boston. If he can rebound, though, he might help the Pirates against lefties while also easing their dependence on Pedro Alvarez, who has struggled defensively in his first season at first base. Victorino has been injured for much of the past two seasons and has more than $5MM remaining on his 2015 salary. For his part, the 34-year-old says that he hopes to stay in Boston through the end of his contract. The right-handed Victorino would complement Gregory Polanco in right field, although Polanco has played better lately. Victorino could also potentially help the Pirates’ bench, although he hasn’t hit well in either of the last two seasons and has struggled since returning from a calf injury earlier this month. He’s making $13MM this season, after which he’ll be a free agent. 嗯... 海盜有興趣Napoli跟夏威夷人 Napoli明顯是補強阿瓦的守備(Napoli守備如何 我也不是很清楚...) 還有遇到左投可以派上 夏威夷人... 似乎會影響到Polanco先發的位置 不過這兩隻本季有打很好嘛 感覺補強也是有限 歡迎推文評論一下(不過也只是提到有興趣 還沒有談到簽的問題) --
