Perhaps it was a slight disappointment, but Pedroia's 2009 season was still extremely good. In fact, I like him more as someone to target this season since the inflated expectations from his 2008 season will no longer be hanging over him. .300-110-15-70-15 in 620 AB

Positives / Upside	No one in the majors does more with less than Pedroia. What Pedroia lacks in raw talent, he makes up for with effort. Hitting in the two-hole in the potent Sox line-up will help Pedroia keep pace with his 2009, during which he scored 115 runs and stole 20 bases. While his 2009 season wasn't on par with his MVP 2008 season, he really only saw a significant dip in average and a slight drop in RBI. To say 2009 was a true disappointment unfairly takes away from what was in actuality a very good season. .315-115-15-75-20 in 630 AB
Negatives / Downside	The 30 point dip in average Pedroia experienced in 2009 as compared to 2008 is concerning, even if he did finish at nearly .300. A drop from 83 RBI in 2008 to 72 in 2009 is also a concern. It looks like Pedroia will always chase that magical 2008 season, and his 2009 stat line is more in line with what to expect from him. .290-100-10-65-10 in 590 AB
