Maybe his MVP, and the 2 Cy Young guys and their "below average" size will minimize concerns folks have about size mattering.

infielddad, Dustin Pedroia is a very good prospect. Where he gets drafted would only be a guess on my part, but he will get drafted quickly and get an opportunity to play pro ball. I have watched him since he was in the 10th grade and he has a couple of tools that are outstanding......he can really hit and is an outstanding fielder. He has a great make up and has a feel for the game that not many players have that will take him a long way."![]()
This was posted by Doug before the 2004 draft and why he is our treasured bbscout. Does not get much better than that!

That's a funny quote. I love that touch of cockiness. I read earlier that after hitting a grand slam against the evil Yankees, Pedroia proclaimed to his teammates he was the strongest 165 pound player in the bigs.
