I considered making the title of this "How every main board thread turned into how Napoli sucks and I learned to like it"
Facts:
The prevailing opinion seems to be that Hanley moves to 3B and Sandoval shifts over the 1B. I'll copy and paste some comments from other threads over here. I probably will not actually move the threads over, since it's being discussed in so many other threads it would probably be counter-productive taking a hatchet to those.
Some points/suggestions (listed below)
Facts:
- Mike Napoli was, initially, an awesome signing, helped up win a World Series and is one of the most charismatic players in Sox history
- At this point, most Red Sox fans would rather see a Confederate Flag come up to bat than Mike Napoli.

Some points/suggestions (listed below)
- Napoli may still have some utility as a platoon player
- An Ortiz/Napoli platoon at 1B seems to be a suggestion but obviously has a lot of historical precedent as being an option not on the table
- Holt to 3B instead of Hanley to 3B is another option
- Craig is hitting decently in Pawtucket
