Date | Question | Answer |
---|---|---|
2019-02-25 16:00:00 (link to chat) | Does Nick Madrigal see the Majors this year? If so, what do you expect from him? (Buddy from Peoria, IL) | Probably not. You will dream of Dustin Pedroia, you will get, I dunno, right-handed Joe Panik? (Jon Hegglund) |
2017-05-22 23:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Dustin Pedroia a good playing style comparison for Bo Bichette at peak development? (JJ83 from Toronto) | Laser Show ain't a good playing style comp for literally *anyone*, ever. Guy's a lunatic, in the best possible way. I can see where you're coming from, though. (Wilson Karaman) |
2016-08-01 16:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Moncada have the tools move to third until Pedroia is done in 3-4 years at 2B? (caseyj15 from Medford, OR) | Yes. While shifting to any new position isn't as "automatic" as some casual observers suggest, Yoan Moncada would likely be fine at third base until Dustin Pedroia was done there. (Mike Gianella) |
2016-03-14 14:30:00 (link to chat) | I have always seen Jose Altuve as a mini Dustin Pedroia, if that is possible. (oldbopper from New Britain, CT) | Fun question: who embellishes more when they list their height?
Skills wise, they're pretty different players. Excellent second basemen, but they ply their crafts very differently. (Brendan Gawlowski) |
2016-01-20 13:00:00 (link to chat) | The prospects series are great, thanks.
I'm asking about a guy who is a couple of years removed from being a prospect and isn't setting the baseball world alight yet, Kolten Wong. I enjoy the way he plays the game and was rooting for him to be the next Dustin Pedroia, so his big second-half slump in 2015 was rather disappointing. Is there still projection there for him and what can he become? (Kalimantan from Cornwall) | I've always been lower on Wong -- and outside of position he and Pedroia couldn't be much more different -- but I still do believe he's an everyday second baseman even with the struggles in the second half. Still a good approach, still a solid defender. Just not gonna be a guy you want hitting at the top of the lineup. Not for me, anyway. (Christopher Crawford) |
2015-07-16 20:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Joe Panik a taller slightly less toolsy Dustin Pedroia? They seem remarkably similar to me. (Eric from LA) | Oh man. Player comps...Ahhhhhh...I really like Joe Panik. Pedroia had more power I feel like at a younger age. Different hitters but I see the same guy defensively, I do. (George Bissell) |
2015-06-16 20:00:00 (link to chat) | If the Red Sox were characters on Game of Thrones, who would they be? thanks (Bill from Los Angeles) | This is super played out ...
... and as such, right in my wheelhouse. Xander Bogaerts: Jon Snow Mookie Betts: Danaerys Targaryen Ben Cherington: Ned (tried to do the right thing, will probably lose head) Wade Miley: Catelyn (doesn't do much but yell) Rick Porcello: Robb Stark (handsome, ineffective) Clay Buchholz: Sansa (WHAT EVEN ARE YOU?) Eduardo Rodriguez: Arya (so much potential) Brock Holt: Bran (takes a lot of forms) Joe Kelly: Rickon (why do you exist?) Mike Napoli: Hodor (...yep) Christian Vazquez: Benjen Stark (plz come back) John Henry: Tywin (still calling the shots) Dustin Pedroia: Tyrion (most watchable/resourceful) Larry Lucchino: Cersei (...) David Ortiz: Jaime (lost a step but still badass) Blake Swihart: Tommen (keep trying, little guy) John Farrell: Stannis (stern but no one seems to listen) Melisandre: Pablo Sandoval (is your power real or what) Our Hopes/Dreams: Shireen Hanley Ramirez: The Hound (unlikeable but powerful) Koji Uehara: Brienne (still rooting for ya) Daniel Nava: Pod (you too!) Junichi Tawawa: Bronn (just gets stuff done) Allen Craig: Janos Slynt (just doesn't) Shane Victorino: Jorah (always hurt) Jackie Bradley: Theon (has he not suffered enough?) Justin Masterson: Beric Dondarrion (should not have been revived) Craig Breslow: Doran (smart, ineffective) Alejandro De Aza: sandsnake 1 Alexi Ogando: sandsnake 2 Tommy Layne: sandsnake 3 The Yankees: Roose Bolton The Rays: Ramsay Bolton The Blue Jays: The Night's King The Orioles: Mance Rayder And two for the book readers ... Yoan Moncada: Young Griff Rusney Castillo: Patchface (Ben Carsley) |
2015-06-10 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Who are your favorite buy/sell targets right now? Maybe 1 hitter and 1 pitcher to each buy/sell on? (Shawn from Cubicle) | Ian Desmond is my favorite "buy" target for hitters. Carlos Carrasco for pitchers. In terms of selling, I'd be cashing out on someone like Dustin Pedroia and Ubaldo Jimenez. I'd also sell hard on Nick Martinez, but I'm not sure you'll get much value for him. (J.P. Breen) |
2014-10-13 13:00:00 (link to chat) | You've seen a lot of Dilson Herrera, both toward the beginning of the year and as he's made adjustments during its course. The swing isn't orthodox but at this point it clearly works. To what degree is Herrera's lack of quick-twitch athleticism going to limit his upside going forward? Some people have casually compared him to Dustin Pedroia back when Pedroia was similarly valued as a minor league player, but it seems to me that the latter guy (even back then) had much better athleticism in the batter's box. I'm still not convinced Herrera is even a league-average second baseman (although one more good year should win me over). Your thoughts? (JD from New York) | Herrera was one of the most interesting prospects I saw this season because of the improvement he made from March to September. I saw him in spring training and noted that he was a good athlete still learning how to play baseball. I actually like his athleticism very much. His swing had issues though. I saw him early in the season and it was better but still inconsistent, though he was barreling the ball up pretty well. The next time St. Lucie came to town a few months later, the swing was much more refined and consistent and he hit everything in sight hard. Obviously, he kept getting better, torched Double-A and made it to the majors. If he continues to make improvements, he can be an everyday second baseman. If not, I think he falls into a utility role (I think he'd make a solid outfielder). I'm not convinced that he's an everyday 2B either, but I'm a lot closer to being convinced of it than I was this time last year. Another solid month or two in Triple-A will do it for me. I think he's earned shot to prove he can't do it, at the very least. (Jeff Moore) |
2014-07-15 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Dustin Pedroia and good comp for Rougned Odor or is that more on the optimistic side? Both play with a lot of intensity, power in the 15-20 HR range, 35-40 doubles, hit between 280 - .300?
Pedroia may strikeout less, but, to me, those seem like reasonable numbers for Odor. (Lorenzo from Jacksonville) | Giving anyone that comp would be VERY optimistic. Probably more Omar Infante, but perfect world stuff would be the Pedroia stuff (Paul Sporer) |
2014-06-26 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Help on a trade proposed: Give George Springer for Dustin Pedroia? 10-team/12 Keeper Standard league....and generally what 2Bs would you target in dynasty leagues? (pmitchell60 from NOLA) | I'm not making this trade. I'm worried about Pedroia. He's on the wrong side of thirty, the homers have declined as his fly-ball rate has declined, and he's not running this year. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving up a top-tier talent like Springer for that profile.
In dynasty leagues, I'd be very interested in Jason Kipnis right now, as his price is likely lower than it should be. (J.P. Breen) |
2013-11-25 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Kolten Wong - the next Dustin Pedroia, or the next Fernando Vina (I'm not implying PEDs, FWIW)? Much thanks. (Dan from Idaho ) | Closer to Vina (Jason Parks) |
2010-09-13 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Please fill in the blank.
This is the best NL Rookie Class since ________ (blank).
Thanks!
Bobby
(Bobby from New York) | Are we going strictly by league? Because the 2007 class had Ryan Braun, Troy Tulowitzki, Dustin Pedroia and Josh Hamilton among hitters, Tim Lincecum and Joakim Soria among pitchers. 2006 had Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Zimmerman, Andre Ethier, Prince Fielder, Ian Kinsler, Francisco Liriano, Justin Verlander, Jered Weaver, Josh Johnson, Matt Cain, Cole Hamels, Jonathan Papelbon (who used to not suck), Jonathan Broxton (ditto)...
There's a lot to be excited about with this year's rookie class (Posey, Heyward, Santana, Stanton) but I'm in no rush to appoint them the best class of the past five years until I see much more. (Jay Jaffe) |
2010-03-08 13:00:00 (link to chat) | How much does the type of workouts players do during the off season matter? For example, Evan Longoria concentrated on his hamstrings/glutes during the winter. Is this more of an overreaction to the previous year or something likely to prevent recurrences in the future? (or, more likely, depends on the individual and workouts in question?) (Stephanie from DC) | Great question. Bypassing the easy joke about Longoria, it's an interesting point that we know so little about the off-season workouts. They're actually a new innovation. Players used to WORK during the offseason. Yogi Berra was a maitre d' early in his career. Mickey Mantle I think sold cars. Since so many are done ad hoc and followed only "light touch" by the teams, there's very little data. Mostly we get people following on someone's success. Lots of Red Sox go to API in Arizona because Dustin Pedroia was an advocate and won an MVP. (Will Carroll) |
2010-02-26 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I'm surprised you didn't put Brian Barton on that well-read list. His mind is reportedly ... interesting.
But how about the other extreme? I once read that the ideal athlete, for coachability purposes, has "slightly above average" intelligence. The reasoning is that the very bright ones may resist coaching because of their own ideas, and the dim ones never "get" what they're supposed to be taught. Does that fit your observations? Without naming names, have you ever dealt with players who left you thinking, "Man, how can somebody this dumb ever play major-league baseball?" (Bill from New Mexico) | Barton is absolutely someone who belongs on such a list. This is a great example of: I wish more people sent in questions ahead of time so I could think about my answers rather than just respond off the top of my head.
Have I ever walked away thinking,"Man, how can somebody this dumb ever play major-league baseball?" I've walked away thinking someone isn't a MENSA cnadidate, but hell, being dumb might sometimes help you play baseball. Or even pretending that you're dumb. Dustin Pedroia might fit that category. He gives a lot of mundane non answers to questions and claims to pay zero attention to stats. Bullcrap. Dustin Pedroia knows every one of his numbers short of maybe VORP. (David Laurila) |
2010-02-18 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Scott Sizemore - The last 2B prospect I remember getting such high marks on being "scrappy" was Dustin Pedroia. And their minor league numbers aren't mindblowingly different. Any reason why Sizemore can't succeed as Pedroia did? (ericmilburn from San Francisco) | Because I could pull out 26 guys with that Pedroia profile, and we'd end up with just one Dustin Pedroia. That said, I actually really like Sizemore and think he could hit .270-280 this year with 10-12 home runs and 30 doubles, and that's pretty good. (Kevin Goldstein) |
2010-02-05 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Given your fandom, do you find you end up with more or less Red Sox on your fantasy teams each year? (Hammer from Pumps & A Bump) | I don't think I draft very many Red Sox players at all. Padres, either. I feel like I'm double-rooting for them, and that's just too much pressure.
I find it easier to root for James Shields to throw eight scoreless against Boston and have Tampa Bay's bullpen blow it in the ninth than it is to count on Dustin Pedroia to win it for two teams. (Marc Normandin) |
2009-03-25 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Whose "minor" injury has you most concerned? (Jake from Chicago) | Cole Hamels. Dustin Pedroia is a close second, for the reasons I have in today's THR. (Will Carroll) |
2009-02-16 14:00:00 (link to chat) | On the 20-80 scale...how would you rate all of Dustin Pedroia's tools? Does a 55 sound about right? Above average tools but once those excellent intangibles are factored in he becomes a top 2B in the league?? (Albert Einstein from Heaven) | Would you really put a 55 on his hit tool? That's a 70-plus, easy. (Kevin Goldstein) |
2008-10-20 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Is this as good as Dustin Pedroia gets or are we seeing the beginning of something great? (mattymatty from Philly) | Based on nothing other than instinct -- I haven't seen the new PECOTA comps yet or anything (Nate is still busy with OBAMA comps) -- I suspect that this is who he is, and if it isn't something great, it's pretty darned close. As I've said many times, he's one of the most entertaining players in baseball to watch. (Steven Goldman) |
2008-09-09 13:30:00 (link to chat) | How ridiculous and disappointing is the talk of Dustin Pedroia as AL MVP? (KerryFam4 from ATL) | There's just so few candidates--they keep getting hurt--that it's almost natural to focus on the guys who's still playing and playing well for a good team. I can understand the discussion, and frankly, I expect the AL MVP to be a random these days, anyway. Pedroia will end up top six or so in most metrics, and probably the best player on his team (him or Youkilis) so he's not Justin Morneau, 2006. (Joe Sheehan) |
2008-07-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Does the recent hot streak make you think differently about Dustin Pedroia going forward? Theres not much time in the majors to look at so I wonder if he's taking a step forward or if this is just one of those blips that happens over the course of 162. Thanks, Ms. Kahrl. (mattymatty from Philly) | It would be somewhat ironic if we had the new Bobby Grich on our hands, yet we in the analysis community shrank from identifying him until he already made it imminent. (Christina Kahrl) |
2008-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Sorry about that felix pie projection, I just have a sweet tooth. (PECOTA from parts unknown) | Did someone change the rules when I wasn't looking and decide that if a ballplayer has an underwhelming first 200 at-bats in a major league uniform when he's 22/23, he's completely done as a major league prospect? Yes, there's the Soriano injury now to force Lou's hand, but the Cubs just needed to commit to giving him 500 at-bats in a major league uniform this year, no questions asked. That's what the Red Sox were prepared to do with Dustin Pedroia last year, and that turned out very well for him. That's what organizations like the Braves, who know how to develop talent, do with their players. (Nate Silver) |
2008-01-31 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Any regrets on last year's list or does some amount of acceptable error always enter into any process no matter how well refined? (LindInMoskva from DC) | Sure, there are always going to be mistakes. Last year's list had two major ones, and both were makeup related, on both ends of the spectrum.
1. Dustin Pedroia 2. Justin Upton (Kevin Goldstein) |
2008-01-29 16:00:00 (link to chat) | how good can Jed Lowrie be offensively? any comparisons? (Randall from Boston) | This probably doesn't work on a scouting level, but on a pure statistical basis he reminds me a lot of Dustin Pedroia - great college career, lots of walks and extra-base hits in the minors despite not a lot of home runs. Pedroia hit .293/.385/.452 between AA and AAA in 2005; Lowrie hit .298/.393/.503 between AA and AAA last year, but was about 18 months older.
Like Pedroia, I think Lowrie's going to be stretched to play shortstop, but could be an above-average second baseman for a long time. (Rany Jazayerli) |

2010-07-13 16:30:00 | All-Star Game | "Red Carpet Show" repeat on MLB channel, showing a parade of ballplayers at Disneyland."Fans just can't get enough" says the host. Actually, as a frequent Disney visitor, the PITA about parades is that they crowd up the sidewalks and you can't navigate to any of the rides. OTOH, Kevin Millar remarking that "It's a Small World" is "Dustin Pedroia's house" is kind of funny. (Steven Goldman) |

BP Annual Player Comments
Even if Pedroia were slated to start 2018 on time, Cora would be wise to make some changes because Pedroia looks every bit the part of a 34-year-old second baseman. He is now a below-average runner, his unfailing belief that he can always take the extra bag adding to Boston’s overall base-running malaise. FRAA has his glove at just around average, and while the eye test suggests he might still be a tick better, he’s no longer elite (though some metrics disagree). Couple those losses with power output that fluctuates between “surprisingly decent” and “almost nonexistent,” and Pedroia's once well-rounded skill set has quickly whittled down to his eye at the plate and his preternatural bat-to-ball ability.
When healthy, Pedroia is still good enough to play often for a contender. He can still reach base at a solid clip, make some splash plays on the dirt and provide on-field leadership. But time waits for no man, and it is especially cruel to second basemen. Pedroia no longer belongs in the top third of a good lineup, and he should no longer be asked or expected to play every day. He needs time off. He needs time at DH. And he needs to admit when his injuries limit his effectiveness. Everything we know about Pedroia suggests he won’t enjoy this new reality, but perhaps he can remember the example his new manager set for him back in 2007. For the good of his own career and the good of the Red Sox’s chances through the end of his contract in 2021, he needs to.
