Will Pedroia’s Injury Force The Sox To Make A Move?

By Mike Axisa | June 26, 2010 at 5:29pm CDT

The Red Sox were dealt a huge blow today when they learned that 2008 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia will require a stint on the disabled list after fouling a ball off his right instep last night. Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe tweets that Pedroia could be out as many as six weeks with a fracture, and manager Terry Francona indicated that Bill Hall will take over second base duties for the time being, according to The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham.

Prospects Jose Iglesias and Jed Lowrie are both on the disabled list, so there's no immediate help coming from within. The three injuries have made the Red Sox thin in the middle infield as Alex Speier of WEEI.com explained, so Pedroia's injury could be the one that presses GM Theo Epstein into action. 

The team reportedly had interest in Adam Everett, who could certainly provide temporary relief, though he's hardly going to strike fear into opposing pitchers. Other names that could be in play are the same ones we discussed when the Rockies lost Troy Tulowitzki, and include Cesar Izturis, Ryan Theriot, Kelly Johnson, and Dan Uggla. Some would obviously cost more than others, and each would fit differently into the big picture. 

Boston is currently three games back in the AL East, and losing their .292/.370/.502 middle infielder isn't going to make the uphill climb any easier. The Red Sox have already inquired about available outfielders, and their shopping list may have gotten just a little bit longer.

      Off the top of my head, I count 12.

      Ellsbury – out indefinitely – fractured ribs
      Hermida – out indefinitely – fractured ribs
      Pedroia – out indefinitely – fractured foot
      Beckett – out indefinitely – back
      Drew – day-to-day – back
      Matsuzaka – Currently active – missed 2 months with all sorts of problems
      Lowell – 15 Day DL – hip
      Martinez – day-to-day – foot
      Youkilis – day-to-day – elbow
      Tazawa – Out for season – Tommy John surgery
      Lowrie – Out indefinitely – Mono
      Cameron – Out for 2 months, day-to-day – Abdominal tear

      It’s amazing they’re only 3 games out. Makes you wonder how they’d be doing if they actually were healthy.

        Yeah well now you know how us yankee fans felt when we lost Wang when he was running the bases in houston , he was a 2 time 19 games winner and now he might not be pitch at that level agian, And that year is also the year the yankees got hit by injuries pretty good and it was the first time we didnt make the playoffs . We lost posada,Jeter,Rivera,Wang,Hughes,A-Rod,not that he matters but Wilson Betmit,Xavier Nady, Damaso Marte,Godzilla and then Damon,

        All those guys play pretty large rolls on that team.
        Posad

    I’d say Uggla is the biggest fit, as long as he’s available and Theo is willing to part ways with some players for him. He is also available to play OF, which would help out a whole lot when Ells get’s back. I also wonder if Theo would make a big move for Corey Hart to play LF when Ells gets back to play CF, and Drew in RF and just sit Cam, he’s been more of a disappointment than any of the new pick ups.

        I guess that’s not a story about the Sox looking to replace Bay in LF. Guess that’s not exactly what that is. Good try though dude. Try to do some research before you talk trash. Idiot.

    lowrie’s case of mono must be INSANE! there arent any updates on him since may 24th.. but one would have to assume that since he’s been out since spring training he’d have to at least make the effort to get back for a second legitimate shot at being an everyday player for the sox. (fatigue or not)

    im also thinking a deal with pittsburgh could be possible? iwamura is unwanted and has done well in the AL east before… eh its a thought.

        I agree. Uggla is the only true viable option on that list. But you know the Fish would want the world for him. They’d be asking for Casey Kelly, Lars Anderson and Daniel Nava in return. It just seems far too much for basically a 6-week rental.

        Uggla would cost them a fair amount, and they have nowhere to put him once Pedroia’s back. No chance.

    PL78, I hope you never control a team even if it’s Little League. Yes it would make sense if they were 10+ GB heading towards the middle of July, but really they’re dealing with injuries. As ArmchairGM mentioned above, there have been a ton of injuries. Imagine if the Red Sox had been healthy for the most part (of course avoiding all injuries is impossible). Realistically, if they can stay within 5 games of the wild card by the end of August and have all of their big name players back (Beckett, Ellsbury, Pedroia) then they can make a real run for the postseason. You don’t dump a team that would be leading most other divisions right now. Think a little before you type next time.

    Right now, it seems our AAA team can compete with the Yanks and Rays, because a third of our squad is AAA call-ups, and we are TWO (2) games back of 1st place. I think its those who have furthest to fall that need to worry. If we stay hot, beware when the PawSox come to your town and kick your major league asses.
