If Matsuzaka can experience a Beckett-like improvement next year, the Red Sox could very well be unstoppable. Plus I think we might get a lot of good innings out of Buchholz and Lester, assuming they aren't traded.
It's good to see that Matsuzaka wasn't satisfied with his performance last year and will work harder to get better results. The talent is definitely there, he just needs to harness it and trust the coaching staff a bit more. Towards the end of the year, he shook off Varitek a lot.
