Scouting Report: Small infielder had a tremendous career at Arizona State.  Average power for a middle infielder, with good bat speed and excellent plate discipline.  Loves the game and has fantastic instincts.  Plays top-notch defense up the middle, he was named the 2003 Collegiate Defensive Player of the Year.  Very scrappy, said to be a great teammate. Oozes confidence.  Has pro experience at both shortstop and second base; likely will stick at 2B through his big league career.  Coming out of the minors, Pedroia projected at a minimum as a dependable second baseman at the major league level.  However, he has proven to be an all-star caliber player early on in his career.
