October 6, 2008 Dustin Pedroia broke a 19 AB playoff hitless streak with a double in four trips to the plate in Game 4.
Our View:Given that Pedroia had just one hit in four games and the Red Sox still moved on one would have to think Sox fans are feeling pretty good about their chances in what figures to be a heated playoff series with the Rays.
October 5, 2008 Dustin Pedroia went 0-for-5 on Sunday night and is now, amazingly, 0-for-13 through three games.
Our View:Pedroia hit the ball hard on this night, but the ball just kept finding Angels gloves. The second leading hitter in the American League during the regular season (.326) will eventually turn this slump around, you can bet on it.
September 24, 2008 Dustin Pedroia hit his 53rd double Tuesday against Cleveland and tied the legendary Tris Speaker (1912) for third in Red Sox history, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:Pedroia has also scored 117 runs, with 17 homers, 82 RBI, and 19 stolen bases, while maintaining a .324 average. The 25-year-old has established himself as a top-5 fantasy second baseman.
September 21, 2008 Dustin Pedroia went 1-for-3 with an RBI, but his stolen base, the 19th of the year, allowed the Red Sox to reach 117 steals on the year, their most since 1917, according to The Providence Journal.
Our View:Besides hitting .324 with 116 runs, Pedroia is 19-for-20 on the bases, and with one more steal he would give the Sox their first trio of 20 stolen base performers in one season since 1914 (Jacoby Ellsbury has 49, Coco Crisp has 20).
September 10, 2008 Dustin Pedroia and the MVP train continue to roll right along as he had another two hits and an RBI for the Sox in their 14 inning loss to the Rays on Wednesday night.
Our View:With this effort Pedroia is hitting .361 in September, this after .374 in August, .350 in July and .356 in June. To say he is locked in wouldn't do justice to the type of run he is on.
