In an interview with Steve Buckley and Rob Bradford on WEEI's "The Big Show", Dustin Pedroia indicated that, based on his knowledge, Carl Crawford is on a "mission" to have a big year in 2012. The Muddy Chicken (an unfortunate nickname given last year's clubhouse issues) also said he hopes Kevin Youkilis is not traded. The second baseman pointed out (correctly) how Youk's grinding at-bats aid the rest of the line-up by wearing down pitchers and showing the full pitching arsenal to those lower down in the order.
