The other day I posted that Jacoby Ellsbury would be named July AL player of the month. Boy was I off. Seems his 5'8 ish teammate Dustin Pedroia walked off with the monthly award. Seems like a good thing if you are a Sox fan. Top two guys in the batting order fighting it out for the top player of the month award. Oh yeah, btw -last month (June) Adrian Gonzalez was the player of the month...
P.S. Sox win tonight on walkoff HR by Ellsbury, maybe August will be his month?
PPS. Back in June, when at a Sox game in the Bronx with a Yankee friend and Pedroia was hitting .230 I made a gentleman's bet that Pedey would end the year over .300 - Love this game!
Still think Adrian Gonzalez gets MVP.
ReplyDeleteI agree, solely on the coming over to a new team, being a model teammate etc.
ReplyDeletePedroia is getting tons of press right now, his overall sabremetrics are strong, rated very highly in runs prevented too.
