Pedroia at SS?
The House That Dewey Built —
The Red Sox appear to be thinking outside the box on their shortstop issue, as Peter Gammons reports that the team has asked All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia if he can return to his original position in 2010.
Pedroia is one of the better fielding second basemen in the game, and his glove/range should be adequate in a transition to SS. The big question mark is whether his throwing arm can handle the move. In the few games that I watched him at SS a couple of years back, it seemed like there were a few too many close calls at first base due to a less than stellar throw from Pedroia. However, this wasn’t a very significant sample of games, and ...
Here's a smart move: Pedroia to SS
It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
If the RedSox think/believe that Dustin Pedroia has the skills to move from secondbase to shortstop, that's something that would make a ton of sense for the organization. And kudos to Pedroia for lobbying for such a move:
"They've asked me if I think I could play shortstop," says Pedroia. "They've put it out there and I've told them I'm all for it. I can do it. I can't wait for Tito [Terry Francona] to call me and ask, 'Can you do it?' I can do it. I really want to do it."
Pedroia was an all-American shortstop at Arizona State, and takes ground balls at the position during the season. The staff ...

Dustin Pedroia Moving To Shortstop?

I can't wait for Tito [Terry Francona] to call me and ask, 'Can you do it?' I can do it. I really want to do it." Pedroia was a shortstop at Arizona State and played a bit of short in the minors, but he was bumped off the position by Hanley Ramirez in the Sox system -- himself no great defensive shakes -- and has only played six games at short in the majors. Moving to the left on the defensive spectrum is a tough nut to crack, and the odds don't favor success. But it's worth a try, ...

Dustin Pedroia Is Willing to Move Back to Shortstop If Needed

by Tom Fornelli Filed under: Red Sox, AL East, MLB Rumors, MLB Hot StoveOne of the biggest problems on defense the Boston Red Sox had last season was the shortstop position. Until the team brought on Alex Gonzalez at the end of the season, any ball that was hit towards shortstop was an adventure or a nightmare depending on who you asked.
So finding a shortstop for next season has been one of the team's biggest priorities, but since the Red Sox aren't really enamored with any of the possibilities, it's a good thing they may already have their future shortstop on the roster. Dustin Pedroia is more than ...

Dustin Pedroia, Shortstop?!?
SOX & Dawgs —
We all know Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia will do whatever it takes to win. So this report from Peter Gammons of ESPN.com should come as no surprise to anyone.
According to Gammons, the Red Sox have broached the idea of Pedroia moving over to shortstop for at least next year. The move would allow them to pursue a free agent second baseman that wouldn’t cost them a draft pick.
“They’ve asked me if I think I could play shortstop,” Pedroia says. “They’ve put it out there and I’ve told them I’m all for it. I can do it. I can’t wait for Tito [Terry Francona] to ...
Report: Red Sox considering moving Dustin Pedroia to shortstop
Red Sox Monster —
... December 01, 2009, 1:03PM pedroiaatshort.jpg AP Are the Red Sox considering moving Dustin Pedroia to shortstop? So, are you ready to have your mind blown? In a new column by Peter Gammons , Dustin Pedroia says the Red Sox have approached him about playing shortstop in 2010. It's a move that would allow the team to fill a longtime void and sign a second baseman more reasonably priced than free agent shortstop Marco Scutaro. Pedroia, a former shortstop at Arizona State and in the minor leagues, seems pretty emphatic about the idea. Among his comments to Gammons: "They've put it ...

Resource Allocation: Pedroia to Short?
TetreaultVision —
The Red Sox shortstop situation has already consumed two posts on this barely week old blog, so you know, it's gotta be huge! The latest rumor floating around and somewhat confirmed by Pedroia himself, the Red Sox are asking if he thinks he can play shortstop. His answer is an enthusiastic, "you bet your a-"
Many Sox fans have embraced the news, citing Pedroia's scrappy, can-do attitude. Somewhere, Ken Tremendous weeps. Shawn Haviland, who pitches in the A's system, and who blogs, thinks the move is fated to fail.
Yes, Pedroia is a gold glove caliber player at 2nd base. Yes, his best tool is a strong arm. Unfortunately ...
Pedey is Short, But Can He Stop?
4 Sport Boston —
Yesterday reports were flying all over the interwebs about Dustin Pedroia voicing his absolute willingness to move to the shortstop position and allow the Red Sox to work on finding a new 2B which has more options on the current market than the SS position. I hate to say it (or do I?), but I think they should do it.
In an article yesterday from ESPNBoston.com, Pedroia stated:
“They’ve asked me if I think I could play shortstop,” Pedroia says. “They’ve put it out there and I’ve told them I’m all for it. I can do it. I can’t wait for Tito [Terry Francona] to call ...
