Is he becoming Mark Loretta? That is what scouts thought he would be.

 

No, that's what you thought. Actually, you thought he was going to be the next Mike Gallego, and that we should have traded him for John Smoltz.

 

Nice call.

:lol: Several other scouts did think his upside was Mark Loretta. Mike Gallego was an underrated player. He did last 13 years in the big leagues. I have admitted being wrong about Pedroia several times, but show me the predictions of Rookie of the Year and MVP in his first two years. Otherwise, pretty much everyone under-estimated the kid. It was just a matter of degree. He's easy to under-estimate. There is absolutely nothing impressive about him physically. He tiny, not fast and he has an average arm. It's what he's got inside that is special.

So this is going to be your thing for the next few weeks?
Nah, just until he starts being Pedroia again. That's entirely up to him. Right now he's playing like a Loretta clone.

Mike Gallego had a f***ing OPS of .648 in his career. He was garbage.

 

What a great comparison. Hey, still want to trade Youkilis for Helton?

Dammit! he hit it off the end of the bat to staight away CF.

 

Because he was trying to pull it.

 

He's gonna become the Big Pop-up again if he doesn't stop that.
