In yesterday’s Grapefruit League debut, the scrappy second sacker was 1-for-2 with two runs and a walk. As I discussed in the Bosox Podcast at the end of January, I think Pedroia will get the job done. A fantasy stud he won’t be, but if your league is deep enough, he’ll have value on the basis of the number of at-bats he’ll garner this season.

Let’s hope the Bosox have straightened out this situation by then!

This works out better for them anyway as Helton is a fan favorite in Denver, is a stud in the OBP department, and Boston would just hate to see what type of power he really has outside of Coors Field (.473 SLG away from Coors averaged over the last 3 years).
