You can take that title a few different ways.
Dice-K's back for his 4th year as Red Sox. After a basic no-show in 2009 he has worked hard to get himself in shape for 2010, including a recent stint at the Athletes Performance Center in Arizona.
Dice-K's back is also mildly hurt. According to the Red Sox website, he will be a few days behind other pitchers in his workouts until his back is 100%. It should be no big deal.
The Sox can use a healthy Dice-K this year as they try to overtake the Bronx Bombers with improved pitching & defense. It's every man on deck to pull their weight so the Sox can go deeper into the playoffs.
Maybe this is the year that Dice-K can get 150 to 200 innings under his belt - like Beckett & Lester & now Lackey. That would go a long way to saving the bullpen for the stretch run.
