Red Sox Dustin Pedroia As Feisty As Ever

With much of the talk being about the future of the second base position for the Red Sox in the last few years, Pedroia’s injury-plagued 2015 didn’t help much. The four-time All-Star and 2008 American League MVP only played in 93 games. He made the most of his opportunities, hitting .291 with 12 home runs and 42 RBIs, but questions started to surface as to his durability. Signing a contract through 2021 for $85 million only had added to the debate, along with the team also signing young Cuban phenom Yoan Moncada to play second base in the minors for a great deal of money as well.
