Please adjust these stats for the differences between the eras. The league ERA s and BA's and other offensive stats were much lower. This comparison is not at all valid. Sandberg was a can't miss prospect with plus power, speed, arm etc. He had tools. And he became a HOFer thanks to those tools. Pedroia has no plus tools, none. Your comparison to a totally different era is no more valid that comparing his stats to those in the dead ball era.:thumbdown You lost credibility comparing this kid to a Hall of Famer.
