Dice-K Will Try To Defend WBC Title

Matsuzaka is going to play for Japan in the World Baseball Classic this spring and will try to win another championship for his home country. Dice-K was the MVP of the WBC in 2006. He told reporters the following yesterday:

“I’ll accept the offer if I’m asked to play,” Matsuzaka said. “I’ll pick up the pace of my training in December so that I won’t have to scramble at the last minute.”
