We talked to the Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T. A better three G experienced dust and probably a talking to us in between. His Christmas shopping Izzy joins us here on a Saturday afternoon or wraps it can be doing raps with the different weights they're Dustin Mike rob happy holidays.

that guy that talks before so. Who you talked -- update he or. It broke or. Truck that's announcer boy you know like the deep voice you want some more feminine for your intro. --

we strive to the Ron Burgundy model. It was so so lackeys lackeys at your newest to teammate. Your thoughts.

excited. I think everyone has now we've we've faced them the last. Upper. Per year but -- That it ought -- Everyone knows how to period what you bring -- table so. At that. Number one caliber. Your pitching staff which party are pitching that it could be. I think that that's going to be huge for earlier.

Is -- tell every guy who when you're playing against him coming gets under your skin. And earlier you we go back to the end of this includes 2008 series and he's saying -- you know the best team didn't win so forth and so on by. Who used -- think about he talked to guys who played well of them as they say you know what that's probably -- guy wanna play with.

Proctor you guys -- actually worked out Joe Saunders from the Angel yeah. He's he's sent a lot and that's probably. Been like they -- So much on the mound and -- Street -- or anybody in the game. -- It's going to be great on our side. You know we saw what he went out and how well it's. It's a no hitter I think that's. Away so -- But the that or run out there. And.

Dustin it's funny you mention that no hitter bid in 2008 who was the guy for the Red Sox who broke up that no hitter one out in the ninth inning.

It would mean yeah I don't I don't know why are there. Are that are ever oh. Yeah. -- Agree about them and.

Other -- talking -- from second base when he got there after breaking up the no hitter.

not not I thought I am. Thought that that it happens I'll I'll eat or operated. By UK that it -- so in getting the win by. In. Oh hitter or -- shut out so. Worked out.

That's an obscene memory that was July 2008 he is called it out all -- you kept the 262 final Red Sox lost. What type but I was -- faced us and it was he a guy that you. Had trouble Hobbs broke up the no hitters may get -- the answer but was he a guy that you had trouble with Terry crew was he a tough got to face.

It's really not a safety. You know account result notes notes stroke on the corners -- ever really get anything it'd and it. -- frustrates your -- you're you're going out there and look for its drug. In the all the way and then in the surprise in the late at all. You know -- it's not like a successful. -- a competitive. You want but it in and not not to see out there on the -- that you don't -- John Black -- for our final game. You're on the -- that try to beat him and.

Are you familiar with Mike Cameron. Mike Cameron's work at all or.

You know I -- I ever met ever met Mike in the all right he's out there and actually the last few years and I haven't. -- really had a chance as the player so a lot about hurting he's. Got a personality. Profile though electric meter. Yeah.

Let me ask you this there's been a lot of talk about who who can play center is gonna play left. And vivid defense of metrics say Jacoby Ellsbury isn't as good -- center fielder has a lot of people might think he is. But from where you said how good is Jacoby Ellsbury as an outfielder and has gotten a lot better over the last years.

I don't understand other zone -- macaw except this stuff works. I I didn't Jacoby just went defense or the year for baseball.

Mlb.com name of defensive outfielder the area.

While at the -- and -- not very good in the already. Does that.

I -- rob actually rob doubles as baseman Dustin. There's if it calls crayons and -- Holland.

Ott you know I don't really know what that don't -- or outside go to pat Ellis -- He's got a ton better. And it and it reads and jumps at work worked on the last the year the are well hell. Aren't -- in and attack all. Based on the ground on. You know he's a pro and obviously it's speed. It's on the track all night or. Like the Auburn -- the monster. I don't know where these -- On a picture arts and because a doctor in Iran that wrote it ought to. Our feet further public that's under more all year so I'm sure you eat like that. On the back at -- court but it's Coconut Creek center fielder. -- on a game changing plays or on the last year so. I think at the baseball player. Injury is operating at its all.

Well you know I know there -- gonna take some calls but boom we had one caller slash -- already so new couple messages. That's your former three teammate Curt Schilling you said number one you should change from the ways of showed a single to right. --

He also says you have to stop being so politically correct. He. You gotta start let loose.

You know I checked out once -- joke around ignite about my own talent and and it really worked out very well gonna go to art.

Benefits for -- at all. That. Politically correct or. No you're not it's not about it appeared on how to go back the defensive metrics that because your boy Bradford all week has been saying met tricks and what -- talking about human promoting defense that metrics and run prevention of the last 48 hours this radio station that drive people crazy. As a player -- how much do you look at that stuff dusted in and do you even care. About defense that metrics and zone rating -- metric is on your radar screen whatsoever.

Yeah absolutely I mean like when -- which no matter you know seven and an injury on all awaits a right. Elected mine out what pat please don't hit to center that Jacoby on its own right. You know I always thought nobody. You know where. Everett on ever want out they're trying to win and if you look look at our lineup effectively. We we -- all of on the field that make plays and not -- about sport in obvious because economic air that's part of the game but. Our biggest thing -- which has a separate opportunities. Out there like these are our our main goal it's. Abbott pitching staff throw at least amount it is possible irrespective of a great -- a position ourselves and we go scout reports that are ourselves do. Make plays. That's why we've we've we've been good the last years.

Do you what I its second or third.

I bought a I don't care or where it is ever. I export -- gave -- an out but it you know about it because it's -- accident its about time.

Thought with the.

I rode everyday where they hit me you know where -- It's that wherever wherever you go --

Did you ever do your -- neither did you -- it at the bottom of any order annualized. Lobbied other although when you came up for the Red Sox and one time. -- That doesn't -- But I'm talking about like him Little League. In -- junior league in high school or anything else like that or were you -- you implanted right in the -- the order of those times.

The name of the so called late show. It got to its -- going to be at night Italy.

the either -- was called single right when he got away -- as he don't say -- acknowledge your back clean up be about a 650. Batting cleanup and about a 328 batting ninth so well pull both spots.

You know a side note the matter right hit. Try to go out there with my approach -- and well in that you know based or. That's a great goal offensively. Is to score a run that's my -- category not look I'll look at. Don't -- now -- later. Oh ops or run. Out and it helps secure.

Not does say your zone rating was very poor those days you -- clean up the ninth so. There's a problem all of go to us -- domain we're talking a Dustin Pedroia -- colon at 6177790850. The lines are falling to get basic get a text messaging here 85850. Patrick up and cycle -- Patrick your -- Dustin Pedroia.

Hey hello I'm the draft and I talked to. Ought to congratulate you on -- early success you've had your career. And I want to ask you why do you think the Red Sox are so you know anxious to get rid of Mike Lowell and you'd think yeah. Francona also want to get rid of lol as badly as -- evidently -- other players would think twice about taking a short deal. Come to Boston try to win a World Series after -- in the way to resolve gone down thank you.

Our. Mountain biker record in on the that your question I don't think ego. Oh really as. That's all active players Mike Lowell. -- and notes. He did it in seven. World Series in the sky was not healthy all year and carrier group. C. No wait you obviously got hurt. -- that it injury and now. You know we we -- Mike like you're paying plain view and it is now. You know I I got were you know -- out there and put -- body by opening at Spartan. Oh. Respect well from Michael. In the Red Sox organization is. I'd point it should be the and so much helping everybody out on the leader are. You know a lot I don't know at auction in -- They want. On I don't make those decisions like that. -- great great great player on any help that. A lot of baseball. A lot street or partners that he's been off.

Happy -- what are the -- Lap up affair -- mother. Laser show segment but there was a text to ask the question. You think you can still be Youkilis and a foot race and is that how is that preparation going for spring training 2010.

Outstanding. What speaker a lot better runner either but I spoke to point -- so I don't slow but you know. I look -- number it's really responsible basis points -- and number go back.

Let's face -- calls does overjoyed joining us Kevin is out west the arm at the joins us here. Kevin -- Dustin Pedroia.

Our guys are out possibly talked a lot color line. Try to test and nobody on our western -- first of all I think the Red Sox are making double moved this year caught. Defense to try to do what prevention at the caller. My question if you beat a second baseman and you play right. Actual position and that's been -- all the more difficult to treat you as a player. You know constantly have a different feel they -- short topic do you think that -- Rose -- opposition.

Absolutely I think he's gonna play great. We saw that all he did last year cutting -- Keeps getting better better so. Are the veteran guys note note -- and what you're right. He's going to be fine he's he's gonna. Into a lineup and they aren't exactly a great shortstop. In their effort or -- pocket. -- and Arizona blocker on our -- say a lack you know all our pitching and defense. I'm like yeah obviously because offensive -- that. In the league last year runs scored so. Oh that's certainly think that -- up or run. Finally the game and I'll be USP. We -- our we've we've a lot of little things. Often go well.

If you talk to anybody over it I know you're not athletes performers here I've talked to anybody over their vote. Daisuke -- you know they're all.

Mexico ought to -- the -- it's interpreter on you doubted it few. All. And like -- or -- he's still here and you -- not opt out. On holiday itself on its back ago nights. Ago but it go to -- are so open in -- and expect.

I Izzo bring to break -- I. Could not or if he's got to make that money Syria now he's in the money let's go to west would -- guys talked to Steven Steven your own Dustin Pedroia it.

I doubt that. I don't. I out. In quick question your -- as a you know have a thirty or. -- Quickly. I don't pick at 34 -- I'm orbit or gap to gap I.

You know straight -- Rockets in all of our stuff like that. You know I don't. Certainly myself under sixty are -- or -- Of effect it -- the effect that Eric chants.

How many home runs you have the right field. Annualized correct. Liked. It here is that -- that one doesn't count.

Stay in the when it stadium I hit it in -- I kept looking up because that are out over. And I only watched the replay and --

Let's get let's talk to Greg in Manchester, New Hampshire Greg what's going on.

It was on our guys. -- A -- course you'd Dustin Red Sox are big -- receiver that your stuff what you think it's it's making players more specialized. -- Orwell -- around it is. -- a lot of the players to agree or are not. So it's. Very well reporters. To. -- The -- are the guys that are where they'll they'll draft guys on. On schools -- It ought to ought not yet it you have tools -- back. Mostly a great out dropping guys who. Play the game in all aspects like great -- at stake hit a lot of things. Baseball. Look out a lot of all around that we. On that only do that so. That's is that a pitch a knowing knowing the players that they are. I think -- free agencies are created the stuff like. I think they're trying to sit there -- that the team can hit it -- outplay. Of the art that we are are awaiting players they they prosperity and no huddle and it's a lot of organization. Where -- one that's. Been so. Other record Margaret.

It's always someone you build and asking -- trivia question from premiere here. Litany of commercials. Who -- Ramon -- Ramon Macias.

It's great -- The but -- What if you keep that you've got the first -- yeah. Which which which one of those commercials -- your favorite. --

I don't know I mean. I'd. And it's whatever what it's like that I think it's funny so. Now treatments are -- not related that actor I don't. I was really nervous going that they are there re well and start reading -- terrorists -- and it's not made so and music or San. Diego. They're all are behind. I you know I felt like she got a -- for what -- away. Early read a quote my face so. Although the -- about thirty minutes -- memorize the lines so what are -- obviously. I hated that it oh. -- the -- and knock it out and out coached and out -- I -- I -- future career in acting idiot -- point or. Our cameo here earth or something like academic like pat.

you still must get people dust and the mention that commercial correct.

Yeah absolutely or when our backs are educated it's it's about the grocery store what you are budding Ecstasy. I'll I'll. But I'll go since it was good commercials per --

Now let's talk to -- Wilmington Carly don't Dustin Pedroia.

It's great idea what the -- I don't I don't bill good brother and yet at two part question that the follow up with -- earlier collar about. What type of adjustments do you need to make in in how do you prepare for a new. Shortstop you know obviously spring training but is there anything else it's necessary -- needed. And and that the second part of the question is would you you personally. Not as a team -- you personally would you prefer to have -- Being defense or would you prefer prefer to have. The big bats in the lineup -- what do you think would give you you better chance of winning if you if you -- general manager.

I figure out that we're gonna -- out right now which kinda want to go along with. I that we heard you broke back it Lester black he. -- I gateway we we we got guys that. Flat out -- opened up at expo. We limit the runs scored. Give that to that the purpose threats are up in the air current remarkably. Organ -- Lockett -- I think everyone's search and you know another out. It's everyone goes out perform like they should and we. The right time you know if we don't get one or two guys you know. So long that you guys on Iran accurately because -- Other court we get a body on the right time in order or -- at a site you know -- a lot of games so. You know we we -- the right people like he's gonna go there play well.

Mark's not with him. Let's go -- a Democrat or question boy for what it's like in -- are at bat. We will and that would set. What you what's -- plan that the opposite at Q did you speak on it but what's the eighth place and most.

And now we're really I mean -- in August and respect are really cold like go to Oakland and then you know. Temperatures spoke to exit the Ellen and it in the wind has blown Portland and -- gets really cold but not like there. Or a play but. That -- stadium in the greatly. You don't like knowing it's your. I got an element and basically I enjoyed every stadium I get a chance to play and so outlets I don't really. Deflecting a it is -- way.

Yeah sure. A point that. We. -- It's it's about it me. Or at any -- Here last year -- Eric or double B not so. Actor's career will.

Tricky priorities. Let's take one more forward it -- out a hero Alex is in the car he joins us WEEI Alex are you.

Hot all year. Our chemistry. -- expires -- Chemistry. Not -- or. You know as you know that you guys on how I rate it like it and you'd. View our break up now we're we're like oh. Arm. Or. It's a.

I guys who say it is the second part of the question you ask who it is is outscored the best best player you have to replace -- That he value put the pieces together.

yesterday it took well. Question -- a trade rumors. -- you might get trade because retreat a big factor -- I feel that.

Actually it was called great here -- in the seventies. Their top. There are numbers are then el -- are all a year in -- Watson MLB now there are others out there -- it her up.

Last year here ever since gone. -- It is. Great and the world got a don't don't make like -- and or. The court is expected I don't know.

I -- he's he's an officially the first call to -- show that when you start to answer the questions that save it that it had happened it.

Yeah oh. Like you mentioned leadership the last one -- get out of here -- the Michael Waltrip we talked about that what Mike is meant to you when your career he might not he'll be with your team next year. Yeah -- you prepare any differently to take a different leadership Walt roll there's you know a couple of the guys who that -- this team. For a long time if they are not here in 2010. Would you maybe step up and be more but a leader amoral verbal guy in the clubhouse lead change at all.

Our leaders of the Red Sox. That's what you need to enemy you don't want guys to do. You know put all that pressure on two. You know and the -- everything. You know that that's gonna take away from what he'd done on the field so you know we have the police ourselves and and and personal situation to succeed -- on you know I think a lot of lot of leaders are -- bike or go out there clip art clearly baseball.
