A day after officially signing with the Red Sox, shortstop Stephen Drew said he thinks he'll be a good fit in Boston and is looking forward to playing alongside Dustin Pedroia. "I think I'm a good fit in Boston," Drew said Thursday on a conference call. "It's going to be fun playing with Pedroia. I played against him, but to actually get to play with a good second baseman is going to be a really good opportunity for me." Drew said when he discussed his future with his agent Scott Boras this offseason, he felt he wanted to play for a team that needed a veteran, every-day shortstop and he also wanted to play alongside a talented second baseman. Boston had both. Pedroia, who has known Drew since they played against each other at the collegiate level at Arizona State and Florida State, respectively, recently endorsed the team's signing of the shortstop, saying he'll add both offense and defense to the Red Sox. "He's a good player," Pedroia told ESPNBoston.com last week. "He's going to be a big part of it. He's definitely motivated to have a great year and be ready to play."
