Well, it was the same pitching that Loretta faced when he he had a .188BA and .264OBP the last two weeks of the season.Against minor league pitching IMHO. Another year with Lorretta would have been just fine with me.

Loretta could only get a job on the bench for 2007. His range is poor and he wasn't much of a hitter considering that his OPS was only .010 higher than that of Alex Gonzalez. He wasn't great last year and I doubt he would have been any better in 2007. Pedrioa should do just fine.
Loretta did taper off at the end of the season, no argument. He still batted close to .300 though. We know what we have with him however.
I'm worried about Pedrioa playing the entire season. When Youk came up, he was up & down for a while. And even then, Youk looked tired by the end of his first full season.
I would have liked to see Loretta start, Pedrioa get some time as a backup, then trade Loretta at the deadline IF Pedrioa was ready.
The Padres never had a shot at winning. Never have, never will.why do you guys overpay for people so much? I mean teams like the Padres can compete for a championship with a payroll under 70 million.
Pedroia has nothing to prove in AAA, so putting him back there or keeping him on the bench in Boston giving him limited playing time wouldn't be beneficial to his development.Loretta did taper off at the end of the season, no argument.
