Is it a keeper league or redraft?
So who's taking a flyer on him?
Worth dropping Jimmy Rollins for him?
12 Team Keeper League. Cannot keep anyone drafted in the first 3 rounds.
Standard Yahoo Points League, that skews more in favour of elite pitching:
Team:
C: D. Norris; 1B: T. Frazier; 2B: D. Pedroia; 3B: M. Machado; SS: B. Crawford; OF(3): M. Brantley; A. McCutchen; J. Pederson UTIL: G. Springer (OF);
SP(3): S. Strasburg; M. Bumgarner; J. Lester
RP (2): D. Robertson; A. Miller
P(2): J. Axford; D. Salazar
BN (2 of any type of player) J. Odorizzi; D. Keuchel
DL: J. Fernandez

Keeper League, but I'm still looking to win / contend this year.

I'd be ok taking a flier on him over Rollins, especially in a keeper league.
I agree with Burgundy
Absolutely take a flier. Given that he is probably listed as a SS and will be playing 2B he will give you added flexibility and at the end of the year if he gets close to his upside, you can get decide to move Pedroia if he only will qualify at 2B next season; otherwise you could keep both.
