The moment for the Boston Red Sox is reigning because the second baseman has been selected as the league’s Most Valuable Player. For only the fifth time in American League history, Dustin Pedroia Boston’s second baseman and a product of Woodland, California, has taken the title. He was the spark plug for the Boston Rex Sox all year long. What he does for Boston is similar to how short term installment loans can boost your budget when you’re in a temporary jam. The attention he attracted during his 2007 American League Rookie of the Year season was a strong indication that Bean town had a gifted second baseman on their hands. However, no one was prepared for the kind of numbers the 5-8, 180 pound Pedroia would put up at the plate. A .326 batting average, 83 runs batted in, 54 doubles, only 52 strikeouts in 653 at bats, 20-for-21 in stolen bases – and that’s just the offensive side of the ball. Like short term installment loans, Boston’s second baseman was conveniently there for the team when they need him. He was the boost the team needed, much like how installment loans offer the same boost when your budget is in need of help. The most powerful player performs well to win the game; it’s like an installment loan that hits your problem in finances that puts you into trouble.

I think taking Mauer over Pryor was not a bad move after all.Maybe the front office does have a clue after all!

Hard to make trades when you close one hole and create another…

‘In a heartbeat’ may be a little strong, but I think they would likely pull the trigger on such a trade. I guess my point was more that you can’t judge a player’s relative MVP value by whether or not he would be traded for this or that other player. Jason Veritec’s offensive impotance should have no bearing on the MVP voting other than that no one should be voting for him.
