Dustin Pedroia is not Mark Bellhorn. And Bellhorns departure was not a biproduct of pressure but Graffanino taking his opportunity and riding it as far and as fast as he could.

that's simply not true .bellhorn was under tremendous pressure his last year with the redsox .but your right dustin is no bellhorn .he has yet to prove hes as good as bellhorn was.getting back on topic .there is no such thing as playing pressure free in boston. d.p. will either handle it or he will fold like a cheap suit.

well lets hope its not the latter and try not to judge him based on such little major league experience.

I realize that Bellhorn was under major pressure but thats not the reason he lost his 2B job. He lost it cause he got hurt and Graffanino capitalized on an opportunity to keep the job.

i think now that he will be better then bellhorn as bellhorn had a quality second bagger behind him fighting for his spot where pedz has cora who would, i feel rather play short
