Angels sign the Napster!
According to the LA times:
The Angels signed catcher Mike Napoli to a one-year, $2-million contract Monday, less than 24 hours before the player and team were scheduled to exchange arbitration figures.
Napoli made $425,000 -– just above the big-league minimum -– last season when he set career highs by hitting .273 with 20 homers and 49 RBIs in 78 games.
With Napoli signed, pitcher Ervin Santana and infielders Robb Quinlan and Maicer Izturis are the only Angels without contracts.

this was just to avoid arbitration
im sure they want to see if he can play a full season healthy before giving him a long-term deal
Kotch would've had that.
