Boston is brilliant for getting Pedroia signed to that deal. All arbitration years AND two free-agent years for $6.667 million a year for a guy who is already a rookie of the year, MVP and possibly the best all-around second baseman in the American League (and I'm a Brian Roberts guy).
If they can get a couple other guys signed like this, like Youkilis and Lester, they will be set for a long, long time.
Ain't gettin' Tex, though
