Theo Epstein has been talking a lot lately about what the Red Sox are going to do moving forward. Yesterday he addressed Dice-K....
"To look where we were with him in March, and where we are now, I think we feel a lot better about it now,” GM Theo Epstein said.” Along the way there’s been consistent velocity that we hadn’t seen the last couple years, and some improvement in the secondary stuff, even as recently as his last couple starts, so again more positive signs to take into the winter."
Peter Gammons suggested on WEEI last week that the Red Sox could flip Matsuzaka to the Mets for Carlos Beltran, but the Red Sox appear to have little interest in Beltran, and thank god, because that guy hasn't done shit in years. Anyways, I am not the biggest Dice-K fan, but I do believe that he can be a solid back of the rotation type of guy, as long as Beckett and/or Lackey stepup next year the rotation could be decent. I can guarantee you that 2011 will be Dice-K's last year in a Sox uniform (same goes with JD Drew).
Let's just say the next two years are going to put Theo "under pressure"
