Does Pedroia really need any more awards?

State Farm wants us to vote for their "This Year in Baseball Awards."

Like many if you, I got an emila from MLB.com urging me to vote for Dustin Pedroia for Hitter and Defensive Player of the year... but does the Destroyah really need any more awards?

Who am I kidding!? Of course he does!

Pedey is going up against the likes of Manny, Mark Teixeira, Ryan Braun, Ryan Howard and others for Hitter of the Year...

... and he'll be battling a number of outfielders for Defensive Player of the year, including Torri Hunter, Grady Sizemore and Ichro... along with fellow infielders Orlando Cabrera and Brian Roberts.

Lots of other Red Sox are in the mix: Paps is up for Closer of the Year ... Tito for Manager of the Year ... Jacoby for Rookie of the Year ... Dice-K for Stater of the Year ...

Jon Lester and his no-hitter are up for Performance of the Year.

JD Drew has two "moments" nominated for Postseason Moment of the Year and Coco's Game 5 rally-capper made the list as well.

And relive some of the stranger moments in baseball this year in the Oddity section...

Bottom Line: We didn't win it all, but it was a great year for the Sox!
