4. Dustin Pedroia, 2B, Red Sox — “I’ve played for a lot of teams and with a lot of players,’’ said Mike Cameron. “Never seen anything like him.’’ I think we know what he means.

5. Artie Stewart, scout, Royals — He’s over 80 years old, but he doesn’t miss a pitch if he’s scouting a pro or a kid on a high school field. Bo Jackson, Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran, Mike Sweeney, and Kevin Appier are among his signings.

6. Pat Gillick, special assistant, Phillies — What does a man with Hall of Fame credentials love to do these days? Scout amateur players. He’ll go anywhere, any time to find a player. Remarkable work ethic and love for what he does.

7. Jeff Cox, third base coach, White Sox — The game is his life. Never married and still living at home with his mother, he is one of the more upbeat people you’ll ever see. He walks through the clubhouse saying, “Push, push, gotta push,’’ to the players, meaning that he believes in an aggressive style of play. Considered a baseball savant.

8. Buck Showalter, manager, Orioles — Sees things no one else sees. Studies the game constantly. Goes home from games and will watch college or pro baseball on TV.
