The thing about Pedroia is, when he made the comments about 'that's not how we do things here', Cherington should have talked to him and asked him to apologize, but it didn't happen. That's mismanagement, an inability to put out fires. Pedroia does have that chip-on-the-shoulder attitude but no one can question his day-in day-out effort. I still look at him as a good guy to have on a team.
