In the last edition of Ladder Challenge it was Danny Ainge defeating Josh Beckett in a tie-breaker to hold his spot at #89 on the RBSF Ladder, and drop the Sox ace to 0-3 in Challenges. In this week's match up, it's reigning A.L. MVP Dustin Pedroia (#85) tries to knock off Bruce Armstrong (#77), a member of the Patriots 50th Anniversary Team. Although Pedroia has both individual and team hardware already, we can't punish a 6-time Pro Bowler for playing on lousy teams. So we're going with the Pats Ironman offensive tackle this week. So who has your support in this week's Ladder Challenge? (and remember, most votes in the comments section is the tie-breaker, so be sure to voice your opinion!)

Bruce - In the future I might say Pedroia, but he still has a long way to go

Same deal as Sean. Still not there yet.
