Several news outlets are reporting that the Red Sox have asked Dustin Pedroia to consider a move to shortstop. Most assume that this is a fallback plan should the Sox strikeout in their attempts to land a satisfactory free agent shortstop. Pedroia is willing to make the move if he is asked to.
Shifting attention now to free agent second-basemen, one stands out to me -- Orlando Hudson. Hudson has a pretty good stick & was a Gold Glove winner for 2009 at 2B for the Dodgers. He still has good range & a good arm. If Youk & Lowell switch positions at 1B & 3B, you could see Youk & Petey on the left side of the infield next year. That would be interesting.
In his latest interview Theo said he has plans A, B, C, D, E, F & G. I believe him. Maybe the Pedroia move to SS is plan C or D.
