Last Week Was The Time To Lock Up Dustin Pedroia
From Baseball Think Factory, 3/17/13:
Now Is the Time to Lock Up Dustin Pedroia
Dustin Pedroia is a 29-year-old second basemen who is signed for the next two years and with a reasonable team option for 2015. Normally, I would be against inking such a player to an extension, but I think I would make an exception for Pedroia. Here’s why:
—First and foremost, Pedroia is the face of the team and a really excellent player. In his first 6 years as a full-time player he’s put up 31.1 fWAR. He’s beloved by the fans, well-liked by his peers, and seemingly has an exemplary work ethic.
Exemplary work ethic. Well-liked. Beloved. So let’s take away his freedom.

It’s called giving him security.
