Everybody Loves Dustin.

Dustin Pedroia got a little write-up in the newest Sports Illustrated for his antics at the WBC. Nothing new but he does seem to have made some new friends.

Jeter:

"It just got a little quieter around here. No, make that a lot quieter. I never really knew him before, just from the All-Star Game a little bit. He's a great guy who keeps everybody loose."

Mark DeRosa:

"He's going to be missed, not just on the field but especially in the clubhouse. He's the one who gets everybody fired up. He picks you up. I know there are days over a season where you're dragging and don't have the energy. He's the kind of guy who shows up every day with a smile and gets on guys. He keeps your energy level up every day. It's great to have a guy like that around."

David Wright:

"He's a great guy who can take it as well as he dishes it out, but he makes sure he dishes it out more. His mouth is always moving. He's like a little dog, nipping at your ankles all the time."

Of course, all of these new friends of his might make it harder for me to enact my plan of making off with him and sitting him on my living room couch so that he could entertain me--like a parrot. But whatever.
