One of the biggest stories of the spring and the early parts of the regular season is and will be Dustin Pedroia. The franchise icon essentially missed all of 2018 after missing significant time in 2017, and no one really knows what to expect in 2019. Based on an unscientific feel of the fanbase, the expectations don’t seem very high. Of course, we really have no way of having a feel for what he can provide in 2019 given how long it’s been since we’ve seen him for more than a few games. That should start to change on Thursday, as the Red Sox are aiming to have him back in the lineup that day.
