I took the Batting AVG he had for the first two months of the season for the past 3 years and included his stats so far this year: 05- (started season in May) May+June AVG = .284 06- April+May AVG = .293 07- April+May AVG = .264 08- April so far. AVG = .165 AVG at seasons End: 05- .297 06- .342 07- .306 08- to be determined.. So..he never starts off hot. Kevin Cano is better than Pedroia.
