I'm hoping Weiland does okay for his 2nd career MLB start.

[AtWork]

I'm excited to see Weiland again. He got absolutely klobbered the other week but I'll give him a pass because it was his first major league start.

BALTIMORE — Who would you rather have, Dustin Pedroia or Robinson Cano? For Red Sox and Yankees fans, it's a great question to debate. It's not quite Ted Williams or Joe DiMaggio, but it's a fun topic.

 

Cano was the American League All-Star at second base. But Pedroia is the best second baseman in the league at the moment.

 

Check out their stats for the season:

 

Pedroia

.295/.401/.468

36 extra-base hits

50 RBIs

17 steals

137 OPS+

5.1 WAR

 

Cano

.294/.339/.506

41 extra-base hits

59 RBIs

6 steals

129 OPS+

2.7 WAR

 

Their defense is excellent, too. You could not go wrong with either player. But right now, Pedroia is the clear choice given his 1.177 OPS in the last 35 games.

It's funny how many people began making the claim that Cano was hands down the better 2B when he was having a career year and Pedroia was injured. That claim would look silly in virtually every other year of their careers.

[RedSox_Ruszkowski]

i would be happy with either, but i'd go with pedey. not just because i'm a sox fan, but it's the intangibles. the same things people say about varitek. the intensity, the heart, the leadership. you can't put those numbers on stats! don't get me wrong, i think Cano has one of teh prettiest swings that i have seen in years, but Pedroia gets the nod. i hope that little f***er never leaves the SOX!

[redsoxbeatz]

I like Pedey's 5.1 WAR compared to the 2.7

[boston22407]

Hope the guy pitching for the sox picks it up

[Palodios]

Jeremy Guthrie is leading the major leagues in losses. Awesome.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Hopefully better results from Weiland.

[boston22407]

17 in a row for Dustin!

[d-money]

It would be nice to score runs in the first inning.I hope Weiland isnt nervous this time around.

[boston22407]

Nice DP for the o's that ball was a rocket

[boston22407]

Nice

1-2-3

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Looked nice in that inning hopefully he keeps it going. I expect him to pull a Buchholz today.

[AtWork]

Weiland's control looked shakey in the first.

[d-money]

Time to score runs!!!!A lead would be nice for Weiland

[boston22407]

Weiland's control looked shakey in the first.

 

One batter ,who is the best one on the team

[AtWork]

One batter ' date='who is the best one on the team[/quote']

 

He left his fastball up to all three hitters he faced and two of them made solid contact. There were only a couple of pitches that were all that impressive.

[d-money]

I wanna see Crawford start hitting like Crawford.

[Palodios]

I wanna see Crawford start running like Crawford.

[boston22407]

I wanna see Crawford start running like Crawford.

 

Right on!

[boston22407]

That a boy crawford!

[d-money]

Ok Weiland, 1.2.3

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Damn it Weiland. You weren't suppose to give up a hit and pull a Buchholz.

[boston22407]

Not looking good

[boston22407]

Come on get a DP!

[d-money]

Needs a DP here
