"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Nothing real ground breaking covered in that article other than the "multi-inning" reliever. I think in a few years we'll see more teams doing something similar. Your Kershaws and Greinkes are still going to go 7+ but your middle and back of the rotation starters are probably only going 3 or 4 innings before your multi-inning reliever takes over.
