Pedroia is a bit too mouthy, he's a second baseman, not a team executive, his job is to play the game not tell people what to do, shut your mouth & play the game on the field rather than bitching about your manager, you can't do jack when you have banged up players & those who aren't banged up aren't performing, if you want to see who should be being bitched out at Fenway most observers will point straight to the pitching mound at 40% of their rotation coughing up 20 losses with ERA's over 5! Perdoia should have been carpeted when he reportedly told Valentine "that wasn't how we do things here" when Valentine slated Youk, unfortunately he (Pedroia) still feels like the Francona regime is in play when it's not - so time to pipe down & take care of business yourself.
