Dice-K is looking like...Chris Capuano

At this point it is pretty hard to ignore the fan interest that Dice-K has spawned across the nation thus far this season. All of his starts have generated large amounts of press coverage, as well as a great deal of analysis in their wake. In the end I think the general curiousity boils down to one thing, namely that fans are curious as to what exactly Boston has on their hands. I mean, the right to just talk to the guy cost $51 million, so he must be something special...right? So I thought it might be a little interesting to check in on Dice-K's performance throughout the season and find the pitchers from last season that he is resembling the most. So, for the first installment of "Dice-K is looking like" we would like to welcome our special guest....Chris Capuano!!!
