Why on God's Green Earth Would Napoli Give Hitting Advice to Brandon Wood?

Dude, no offense, but Brandon should not get advice from a catcher barely hitting over .200 and especially not a catcher who likes to hang out late at night in Newport Beach at Sharky's with an erratic reliever named Shields.   I was reading Lyle Spencer's piece on the Angels official website and it had an exerpt where Napoli is talking to Brandon about hitting. 

I can't wait for Hank Conger to come thru the ranks.  I don't care how good these g.uys are defensively they need to hit.  I hate to say it but I would rather have the hated AJ Piesinksy than Napoli.  Johnny Bench could hit while playing catcher more than adequately and Scioscia probably averaged .280 for a career.

Unacceptable.  Send Brandon to Mark Texeira or Garret Anderson.  Those two have the consistency and plate discipline to advise Brandon.  Keep Napoli the hell away from Brandon or you can add a third baseman to the catchers club of offensive futility.

Sure Nap can't hit for average. But he does have a lot of power,
