I alluded to this in another thread ... Dice-K looking fat which of course changes his mechanics etc...
The thing is I am surprised really ... wasn't he supposed to have a great work ethic? In a way ... i'm kind of glad it's that he's out of shape. i think we'll at least get our money's worth out of him. I don't see him pitching to 40 like some guys ... too many innings in that arm. But one of the better AL pitchers through his contract I think is feasable.
The glut of pitching has been a great idea ... about time really. 5 pitchers is not enough as no staff makes it through the year. Oh well back to Dice n' Donut.

“This time,’’ manager Terry Francona said, “we’re going to make sure that he’s ready to pitch.’’
Francona met with Matsuzaka “for a pretty lengthy amount of time’’ Thursday. They mapped out his regimen, making certain not to rush Matsuzaka. Francona intimated Matsuzaka may miss a long period.
Matsuzaka will follow a conditioning program from strength coach Dave Page, and organizational pitching coach Glenn Gregson will monitor the throwing portion of his program. The Sox hope Matsuzaka will also improve his overall physical shape while strengthening his shoulder.
