Red Sox nation, Pedroia is on fire!

Finally I have been proven right! I, Buddie, Buddie the dog of mystery, has argued for dog years that the leaner, faster more versatile baseball player was the way to go for the Red Sox. The way Pedroia has been performing is a huge testament to the power and ability of the player who is more compactly built!

I can attest that due to my light physique and streamline stature that I can run the bases in record time! I can catch a pop up in lightning speed! Unfortunately the pop in my bat needs a little work and the blatant discrimination against canines in the majors has kept me from making it to the big show! Mr. Prez Rem Dawg, can you help a canine out?

Of course because of this, everyone assumed that because of this, to say the least, I was just being bias.

But the reality is, look at past examples!

Who can forget the "dinobot" antics of Jose Canseco in the outfield? True, once in a great while you would see the explosive bat hit one over the wall, but did that make up for the errors in the outfield?
Even I, as a canine, was embarrassed for Canseco when the ball dinged him in the nugget before going over the wall!
 Honestly, dude, my cousin the pekingese could have caught that one!
 
With the whole steroid and juicing controversy as well, it seems that the day of "real" ball players is long over due.
Players like Pedroia, Ellsbury, and Lugo, to name a few, bring a new excitement to Major league baseball that I felt had been lacking for a while.

With their explosive speed, amazing aerobatic catches and just plain athletic ability it makes for some awesome baseball highlight moments!

I am glad to see that maybe Major league baseball might finally realize that this is not the NBA, you do not need players that are all over six feet plus or 200 plus pounds to win world series!

Granted there are players that have the height and the mass while still being agile. But judging a player by their height before even seeing their playing ability is just plain bad business sense.

Red Sox's hot shot Theo Epstein definitely has the right business savvy by developing players in our own farm system instead of paying big bucks to another organization for the finished product.
In reality is it not better to groom players to our organization's specifications and philosophy instead of trying to re-mold them after someone else has tried to train them their way?

I know that J.D. Drew is a great player, but in all honesty has he really been worth the money the Red Sox paid for him?

I know I know, everyone struggles when they first get to Fenway. I myself find it a tough park to run around in!
I have heard it all, about the wall, the crowd, the configuration of the park. But I would rather have a rookie who is making less that 250K struggle at Fenway, than someone with the endless zeros attached to their paycheck!

Yes I know I am just a dog, what do I know? Well, I know enough to say that Mr. Epstein is a baseball marketing and rookie grooming genius!

So today Mr. Epstein and Mr. Pedroia, I Buddie, Buddie the dog, dog of mystery, name you two, the K-9's  of the game!
For all you do, this bone is for you!
I better get my own slogan, before those equestrian  types start trying to sue me!
Anyway once again signing out from a top secret undisclosed location, this is Buddie, Buddie the dog, dog of mystery and baseball. Peace, flea-free zones and Bow-wow to you!
