Pedroia had an RBI single and stole a base in Monday's 4-0 win at Baltimore. Recommendation: Pedroia hit second on Monday while J.D. Drew batted leadoff for just the second time this year. Not too much would change for Pedroia, other than a few more RBI opportunities, if he stayed in the No. 2 spot for a prolonged period of time. |

2B Dustin Pedroia was moved out of the leadoff spot and back into his customary No. 2 hole by Sox manager Terry Francona on Monday night. The Sox skipper admitted that his reigning AL MVP might have changed his batting approach a little bit in the leadoff spot, and was trying to work the count rather than hit with his normal aggressiveness. Pedroia went 1-for-3 in Monday night's win and has seen his batting average drop all the way down to .288 for the season -- a partial byproduct of the .213 batting average he carried while hitting leadoff throughout June. |
