Pedroia inked long term

It's being reported that the Boston Red Sox signed second baseman Dustin Pedroia to a 6 year 40 million dollar contract. A great move for the Sox. Since joining the Boston roster Pedroia has been nothing but great. In two season he has a Rookie of the year award, Silver slugger, gold glove and AL MVP. He's a hustler ALL the time and a clutch player. He had so many timely hits this season and was consistently productive when others weren't. Great move signing him, there arn't many great second baseman in the MLB right now and the Sox have one for the long haul. Next we need to find a catcher for the long haul. Even if they sign Tek it's time to bring someone in. That way they have a year to learn from Tek and not all the pressure is on someone in 2010. It would be good for a player to able to develop some chemistry while the captain is still around.
