Report: Dice-K admits to pre-WBC injury: Daisuke Matsuzaka reportedly hurt his groin before the WBC last year and never told the team. "Early on in January 2009, I hurt my right inner thigh," Matsuzaka told a Japanese magazine that was translated by the Boston Globe. "I consider movement around my hip joint a crucial part of my pitching motion. It happened during my exercise to strengthen my hip joint that I incorporated into training since 2008. I may have pushed myself just a little too hard. It wasn't the pain that killed me, but it was the regrets and guilt that filled my mind. It was the time to start building up for the season, but I hurt myself because of my own doing. I had to make a decision whether this injury was serious enough to withdraw from the World Baseball Classic. But my body was functioning well, and by taking anti-inflammatory medicine I can tolerate the pain. So I continued training, but actually it was even hard just to jog."

Fantasy Analysis
Matsuzaka has a strained relationship with the Red Sox, but he remains one of their starters going into spring training. His contract dictates that. He vows to be closer to his pre-2009 form this year, which makes him an intriguing injury-risk sleeper on Draft Day. "I am very sorry for making you worry," Matsuzaka told the magazine. "I assure you that the [2010] season will be a great season. I am going to redeem what I lost in 2009. With my health back, I am confident and determined to produce this year. I will [try my best to] become a world champion once again."
