2010 AVERAGED PROJECTED STATS & OUTLOOK: .306-16-71-105-16 in 602 AB. This little sparkplug plays like a giant among men. The former MVP plays 100% and gives his all on the diamond. And as stupid as it sounds, that’s why I have him ranked fourth among second basemen beind Utley, Kinlser and Cano. I think Pedroia has maxed out his potential whereas Cano and Kinsler still have room for growth and improvement on career highs. He plays at Fenway and uses the field to his advantage – smacking line drive after line drive off the Monster. He’s good for .300-15-70-100-15. Take Pedroia as a TOP 4 2B and enjoy watching him play 162 games this year.
