Fort Myers Fluff

Here's a good piece from Gordon Edes on Pedroia. Like the issues with J.D. Drew's child several years ago, it's always eye-opening to connect with the lives of professional athletes off the field. I feel like this is one of those only-in-spring-training-because-we-don't-really-care-about-Tug-Hulett fluff pieces, but I know everyone (self included) forgets about how human these guys are during the season. Messy divorce? So what. Child with abnormal, life-threatening illness? Suck it up. Pregnancy complications? I overpaid for the guy in my auction league.

Don't we all feel a little bad?
