Dice-K hitting cleanup?

Daisuke Matsuzaka was not a bad hitter in Japan, even boasting one homer.

"I saw him take some swings (last week) and he looked like he knows what he's doing," said manager Terry Francona. "I asked him if he wanted to hit cleanup today. He said, '(Against) Randy Johnson? No, no.' This (facing the flame-throwing lefty) may not be a true test of his hitting prowess."
