3E8 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 12:35 PM) I think it was a great move by NYM to trade him. I can't disagree with you. The Mets got two very good prospects. Given the state of their team and the landscape of the AL East, trading Dickey made sense. The Jays are in the opposite situation, and going "all-in" to try and stop their postseason drought from reaching 20 years. Their rotation needed another reliable starter and they got the best one available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 So, I'm definitely going to be interested to see how Dickey plays now that he's in the AL East and whether or not he's a creation of the NL. But, if he gives a similar performance to last year, the money he's being paid now will be a bargain. That's a division winning move if he can repeat that season or close to it.

We only have a 71-inning sample, but in the last three years against the AL, Dickey is 7-0 with an ERA under 2.00. So there's at least not a minor red flag. He may benefit his first season simply from most players never facing his knuckleball before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
