Dustin Pedroia's season was an example of how uneven a good part of the Red Sox' 2010 campaign proved to be. (AP)

I know that the season isn’t officially over yet, but I think its time to reflect on the 2010 campaign.

I’m really not putting much stock into the remainder of the year. If Adrian Beltre or Clay Buchholz struggle down the stretch, will that change your opinion on the type of years they had? If John Lackey or Josh Beckett are lights out the last three weeks, does that mean they’ve had good years? No, I don’t think so. So here it is, the not quite end of the season report card:

Victor Martinez: B-

Missing five weeks obviously hurt, but Vic is still one of the best offensive catchers in the game. Defensively, he really struggled early in the year.  It was tough to watch at times, but if you’ve been watching lately, his throwing has improved. He’s now thrown out 23 percent of would be base runners this year. Given where he was in April and May, that’s quite an accomplishment.

Jason Varitek: C+

I would have given Tek a higher grade but its awfully tough to give a ‘B’ to a guy that has missed as much time as he has. I think that the one thing that Tek proved this year is that he can still produce when healthy. He will continue next year to be one of the best backup catchers in the game, if he can stay healthy.

David Ortiz: B-

After another slow start, Papi has put together a good year. Let’s face it, these days there aren’t as many guys in the league that hit 30 HR’s. He became the type of hitter that pitchers had to be worried about again. I don’t expect his numbers to jump in the future.  At this point, he is what he is.

Kevin Youkilis: B

Youk was having another very good year for himself before his season ending thumb surgery. His grade is as low as it is because he missed the final two months of the year. To me, his injury was the nail in the coffin for the 2010 Boston Red Sox.

Dustin Pedroia: C+

This is a tough one. Pedey had a good April, a bad May and a very good June. He is by no means a ‘C+’ player, but when you miss half the year that’s what can you expect. He’s the leader of this team. That’s why his injury may have been the biggest blow.

Marco Scutaro: B

Where would the Sox have been without Scutaro leading off this year?  The downside this year was his defense. But keep in mind what this guy played through. First, is was a herniated disc in his neck. Now we find out that he is playing — for some reason — with a torn labrum. His arm came up short this year, no question, but it had a lot to do with injuries.

Adrian Beltre: A-

He is the co-MVP of this team, (see Clay Buchholz). Offensively, he was an absolute machine, carrying this lineup at times. The only reason I didn’t give him an ‘A’ was because defensively, I was a little disappointed. Too many errors and, to be honest with you, I think that the official scorer was extremely generous at times.
