Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox

The 2008 American League MVP, Pedroia appeared in only three games last season due to a knee injury. Now 35 years old, Boston still has some hope he can produce as in 2016, he batted .318 with 15 homers and 36 doubles. A former four-time Gold Glove winner, Pedroia's range has declined a bit although he still looks smooth in the field.
