Pedroia led the majors with 54 doubles. He tied Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki for first with 213 hits, and ranked second with 118 runs and 61 multi-hit games, both AL highs. He also stole 20 bases in 21 attempts.
Interestingly, Pedroia was left off one ballot entirely -- by Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, who gave Kevin Youkilis his first-place vote.
