"Terry Francona received good news today from Fort Myers, where Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched three innings in a Gulf Coast League game against Tampa Bay minor leaguers. Matsuzaka threw 37 pitches, recording four strikeouts and allowing one hit in a 2-0 Red Sox win. Matsuzaka faced 11 batters. "Everything was pretty good," Francona said. "Good breaking ball. He commanded his fastball and stayed down. He had good changeups. Generally, really positive (Boston.com)."
Great news for the Sox, as this is the first step for Dice-K, as he works his way back to the majors. Buchholz proved last night that he is going to be inconsistent, and with the rest of the Sox rotation (other then Beckett/Lester) in question, the Sox are really going to need Dice-K to comeback and be the player that he was last year...
