Those are two off the top of my head, there were more than two.
Yes expectations were high, we acquired an ACE, we gave up prospects for an ACE. I simply can't stand when people here say, "If you drop your expectations for him he's not bad." My expectations for him were to be an ace. We traded for an ace. If Dickey had a 4ERA for the past 3 years and we gave up a couple mid level prospects, then I would say okay, Dickey has done his role. But we blew two high rated prospects to acquire an ace.
On top of that, no he hasnt' been too bad, it's the fact that he's inconsistent and you're sitting there wondering what inning he's going to have his meltdown.
IMO Gibby has pulled him at the right time. All the sudden everyone's hitting off him, guys are walking, get him out. Look at his numbers in the later innings, it's not a coincidence and odds are against him that he'll bail himself out.
