With a considerable amount of change in the air, there stands Dustin Pedroia, who feels as constant around Fenway Park as the Green Monster.
When Boston starts its season on Monday at home against the Pirates (2:05 p.m. ET), Pedroia will be at second base for the 11th straight Opening Day.
Only Carl Yastrzemski started more consecutive openers at any single position for the Red Sox (12), and that was from 1961-72.
