With Ian Kinsler going to Boston, he will be reunited with former ASU teammate Dustin Pedroia

Full-circle baseball is always fun. Especially when two former college teammates get to wear the same uniforms once again. This time, they will both be sporting Red Sox jerseys.
On Monday, the Red Sox acquiredIan Kinsler for top Boston prospects, Ty Buttrey and Williams Jerez. This means Kinsler will be reunited with his former Arizona State teammate, Dustin Pedroia, and the two have an interesting story dating back to their time together as Sun Devils. According to a Yardbarker article, Pedroia, a freshman at the time, took over the shortstop position because, well, he's Pedroia and he's really good at baseball.

Kinsler transferred to Missouri for his junior year where he ended up being a major part in leading the team to an NCAA appearance in 2003.
Needless to say, both have found success and it appears neither has aged a bit.
