To me it was no surprise that Dustin Pedroia won the AL Rookie of the Year award for 2007.? I mean, I can’t honestly believe anyone thought that Dice-K was even worthy of being considered.? Dustin played the entire year, worked through some tough times, but overall played a solid 2b and ended up with nice offensive numbers.?
No, I don’t think he is a long run hall of famer.? Unless, he plays so many years that the sheer volume of numbers he puts up gets the committee to overlook his relatively non-superstar stats (aka, Cal Ripken).?
