Dustin Pedoria?
That was a long time ago.
I doubt he will ever be what he was before the knee got hurt.

I went w Lou but I don't have any issue with someone taking Grich over him. At their peaks it might be Pedroia but it feels like his dominance was so short lived

I agree he will never be what he was, I just felt like his peak was the highest, and went on for long enough. I think he was better than Grich defensively, and a better hitter. Grich was more patient at the plate, but not really a threat on the bases. I would have gone Grich if I had not taken Pedroia.

It could also all be recency bias for me though, who knows

Pedroia at his peak for sure. Career wise WAR prefers Lou and Grich cumulatively.

Like I said earlier the splits on Lou are rough though.

That's why I said Grich or Dustin. Dustin had the better peak but Grich had the longevity. I will take Pedroia over Grich though. He was clutch too
