Will he change how scouts evaluate players in the future? Will this open doors for players 6'U in the bigs?? Your thoughts?

No. 
Ichiro and Eckstein haven't changed their minds so I doubt Pedroia will either.
true dat. Well at least some of the smaller guys are getting some chances: Angels have three that start: Figgins,Cabrera, Izturis.
During Intro to players in tonights game check out just how small he actually is compared to teammates.
The dudes not very big.

Pedroia was the Red Sox first pick in 2004. What part of the evaluation needs to be changed?
He has only 10 HR, 43-2B, 1-3B, and 57 RBI in 609 AB's. Thats pretty much a slappy. At best a good contact hitter with his .299 avg. He should no way shape or form be compared to Papi!

Especially when they are taking grounders!
He has came through in the clutch like BIG PAPI though.
