Pedroia turned 26 in August, but your point still stands.

I was sighing that it was even an issue (in general). I was comparing both of them in terms of what they mean to each respective club. They also have similarities as players, but it's completely impossible to compare each player. Jeter's in his late 30s, Pedroia isn't even 25 yet.

Please tell me that was a sigh of relief for someone who actually understood what you were talking about. You can't be that dense to think that Pedroia could even come close to what Jeter has accomplished.

Yeah, who would ever want a first-ballot hall of famer and one of the 5 best offensively at their positions in history on their team?

Pedroia needs to up his game from his MVP year, and have about 5 years like that, with several more of his 07 or 09 years mixed in to even come close to being as good as Jeter.

Brunell (I hope) wasn't comparing them as players, but as cornerstone up-the-middle players on their respective teams.

Pedroia definitely has a chance to go down as a Boston legend, he should never wear another uniform for the rest of his career. I think the Jeter comp is more for the fact that he means the same thing to the Sox that Jeter does to the Yankees. And let's be honest he's every bit the player that Jeter is especially when you factor in defense.

what is the obsession with some Yankee fans to find any occasion to browbeat Red Sox / RS fans? why would i, as a RS fan, bother to go over to any Yankee blog and blather about ?
( i don't ).
i do think, and guys, you can correct me here, but i do think sometimes that circle jerks are really about who can shoot the farthest.
IMHO, the ones who are not worried do not play…
go away sheila, and take your midget mentality , too!

My question is why a yankees fan feels the need to comment on the one tiny part of the article that mentioned Jeter at all and ignore the rest of it that talked about what a great player Pedroia was. Jeter is a good ball player and grant it one of the only yankees I can at least respect, but hes a VERY VERY well paid (I think overpaid, now shortstop)… The comment that the article made was only making a point that Pedroia had immediate success for the team like Jeter did, and we defenitely aren't paying Pedroia the amount Jeter gets… so it's a great deal for the sox. It kinda appears the obsession is on you for turning a small comment into an issue.

Well the "midget" is pound for pound as good as Jeter. I know this may be hard for some Yankee fans to comprehend, especially now they won it all. But i guess truth hurts for some Yankee fans.
