Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia for winning his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award today. Dustin is one of my favorite players to watch, and, in the opinion of this biased Red Sox fan, is well-deserving of the Gold Glove. Not a bad track record so far, two years in the league and he's already racked up Rookie of the Year and Gold Glove honors.
