Daisuke Matsuzaka
The projections in the magazine are improved this year. I spent a lot more time twiddling with the mechanicals, which are usually pretty good for the vets but don't get playing time for the youngsters and the injured.
But the mechanicals also took Japanese baseball history for DiceK as if it were MLB play, giving him an inflated set of mechanicals that I failed to adjust. I'm in the process of doing updated projections, a set of which will be available here about Feb 1st, so I don't know where Daisuke will land exactly, but I'm optimistic for him this year.
I'd say 17 wins, 8 losses, 3.50, 195 K, 1.22 WHIP. Or thereabouts.
