And still OPS'd .825 despite it. Trooper.

This might explain the appearance (at least to me) that he had lost a step and a half on the bases.

By all accounts, Pedroia was injured when he ranged for a ball up the middle and twisted awkwardly to make a throw on Sept. 11 in Toronto.

Yes, his glove wizardry was as good as ever, but I think he lost some explosiveness in making diving stops. He's the odds-on favorite to win a gold glove anyway.

Fangraphs worked up the GOLD GLOVE numbers a week ago and they have Pedroia third:

So is JBJ.

Often he looked like he was mightily laboring to run through the mud.

But it helped his dance moves.
