Trevor Acy's List: Red Sox

Matsuzaka had a solid first season with the Red Sox in which he went 15-12 with a 4.40 ERA and 201 strikeouts in 32 starts. The key for Matsuzaka this season will be to maintain his pace over the rigors of a full Major League season. Last year, Matsuzaka went 10-6 with a 3.84 ERA before the All-Star break and 5-6 with a 5.19 ERA in the second half. He finished the year strong, however, earning wins in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series and Game 3 of the World Series. Matsuzaka lost his only start against Oakland last year, but he pitched well, surrendering two runs over seven innings.
