"There's a perception that on a Red Sox team that doesn't seem to have many issues, there's nothing to do but play the schedule and get fitted for World Series rings.

Not the case.

Any team that has Daisuke Matsuzaka on it always will have something to worry about, team personnel scratching their heads trying to figure out what's going on with him. Wondering how they can turn him back into the pitcher international scouts felt so strongly about that a $51 million posting fee was paid to the Seibu Lions. After all, the Sox have seen glimpses — 33 wins in his first two seasons — but not much since. The last two seasons, it's been an exercise in futility, with some miscommunication thrown in."
