“Mighty Mouse”, I mean Dustin Pedroia. Pedroia also garnered AL Player of the Week honors for the week of May 28 to June 3.
For the month of May, Pedroia hit .415, had 2 homeruns, 9 rbi’s, 6 doubles in 21 games played. Dustin led his fellow rooks in the AL in the following categories: average, doubles and OBP.
Pedroia had an unbelieveable week last week. In 6 games, he hit .609, with 6 rbi’s and 6 doubles.
Hideki Okajima was the Rookie of the Month in April from the Red Sox, and Daisuke Matsuzaka won the Player of the Week award two weeks ago.
Brian Daubach was the last rookie on the Red Sox to win the Player of the Week honors back in 1999.
