He's pulling the ball much more than he did last year. Maybe last year he kept trying to hit up the monster for doubles?
He's swinging at more pitches in the zone and still maintaining his contact %. Not bad.
He had a .310+ BABIP in 14 and 15. Maybe he can do it again, but I just wouldn't count on it.
Negative oWAR Pedroia!
I don't see Mitch keeping his hot hitting going much longer so it's a toss up between him and Pedroia for me. I think Pedroia will come back and play his darndest and get that uni so dirty that everyone falls in love with that wee man all over again. Then he'll dive headfirst into 1b and have a bad wrist for the playoffs or some s***.

After another big spring training, Travis seems all discombobulated in AAA. Only 43% of balls hit in the air so far and over the past month has struck out in 22 of his 44 at bats. .231/.297/.341
If they demoted Devers, it'd be a time share with Nunez and Holt. If Nunez was actually hitting, maybe that would make sense. I think Cora is a big fan of Devers and is just going to keep him around no matter what.
