He&quot;s only 5&quot;9", like Marcus Giles. His HR ceiling is probably around 20, but he is a definite .300+ hitter with walks and doubles power.  He is already as good a fielder as Giles, who took a while to develop into a gold-glove caliber player.  There&quot;s a great chance Pedroia&quot;s peak will exceed Giles, which is quite the compliment.  On the down side, Pedroia does not appear to have much speed, but stolen bases aren&quot;t a big part of the Red Sox gameplan anyways.
