		This week we take on Al Pedrique's path to the majors, and what the fork in the road might be in the future.
		When Al Pedrique left his post as manager of the Triple-A Tucson Sidewinders to become third base coach for the Diamondbacks this season, he did so with a bittersweet attitude because he loved the ability he had to teach and manage young prospects and send them on their way to a career in the majors.
		Pedrique, 43, replaced the fired Bob Brenly as Diamondbacks manager on Friday (July 2), and he inherits a team stocked full of prospects he tutored last season in Tucson.

		Pedrique won his first game on Sunday, a 6-2 Randy Johnson masterpiece over the Minnesota Twins, leaving him 3,730 manager victories behind Connie Mack and 41 in arrears of fellow Venezuelan Ozzie Guillen, rookie manager of the White Sox.
		Pedrique was so overwhelmed by the magnitude of becoming a big-league manager that he went home late Friday night and tried to make sense of his new life.
		Pedrique has 80 more games to exhibit that he can restore some life into the fading Diamondbacks, a daunting challenge given a pitching rotation that, after the Big Unit, might have difficulty winning in the Pacific Coast League.

		Pedrique's a very old school baseball lifer, and although he's likely to emerge as the first Venezuelan manager in the big leagues in a few years, we were unimpressed with his discussion.
		Although Pedrique may have ducked the question by responding something like "we look for players who can win", he likely failed to understand the question, suggesting very strongly that the Diamondbacks don't look at any stats in player development, a concept anathema to most of Pedrique's audience.
		Pedrique also expressed his opinion that he didn't believe that anyone in the AFL was ready for the majors, as even Hee Seop Choi needed more development time because of the holes in his swing.

		It is all in a day's work for Pedrique, a man who has been involved with baseball since he was 5 years old, when he and his family traveled through Venezuela to watch his father play for the national air force team.
		Pedrique signed a pro contract with the Mets at 17 and spent the next 17 years playing pro ball, reaching the major leagues with the Mets in 1987.
