Dice K taking time off?

[Soxaholic]

Daisuke Matsuzaka, RHP, Red Sox - We’ll have to get an explanation on this one, but a source told MLB.com reporter Maureen Mullen that Matsuzaka unexpectedly took a week off from Athletes’ Performance Institute in Tempe, Ariz. Mullen wrote that the respite does not appear to be injury-related. Right now there’s no reason to believe Matsuzaka is abandoning his conditioning, but with Dice-K, who knows?

He probably went home to Japan for a booty call.

He's got a long season ahead so what's the big deal? Normally I'm against this kind of thing, but its not even spring training yet, and he seems pretty intent on getting back into shape. I have no problem with him taking a week off from pre-pre-season to go see his family--which this is probably what this is about.

I don't want to over react to what may be a non story. But this is not what I wanted to hear. Dude has been pushing it in his tenure as a Red Sox. I don't know what his deal is. Hopefully the issue is resolved. Until then I will hold off on pounding " trade Dice-K" drums.

At this point. Let's hope it stays that way.

Always ask yourself this: "Would this be news in any city besides Boston?" If the answer is no, ignore it.
