There’s no doubt that 2009 represented a major step back
There’s no doubt that 2009 represented a major step back for Dice-K, as he was very poor out of the gates (8.23 ERA through his first eight starts) and ended up spending nearly two months on the DL with a tired shoulder. It’s clear that the heavy workload -- both mental and physical -- he endured in the World Baseball Classic seriously affected his preparation for the season. With that said, he came back from his stint on the shelf a different pitcher, going 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA and 20/12 K/BB ratio over four starts and looking much more like the guy who won a combined 33 games in his first two years a big leaguer. Considering he’s opted to more strictly adhere to the strength and conditioning program advocated by the Red Sox, a big comeback could be in store for the talented righty in 2010.
Red Sox | Dice-K on thin ice
Michael Silverman, of the Boston Herald, reports the Boston Red Sox have indicated that they won't have much patience with SP Daisuke Matsuzaka if he shows up next season not in shape. "He did accomplish something in a condensed offseason, in the late summer, but that's not the time to do it; the time to do it is throughout the winter," general manager Theo Epstein said. "That's been clearly communicated and there will be follow up, and there are strong expectations that he shows up in fantastic shape on Day 1 of Spring Training next year. I see it as a necessity, not really an option."
