Yeah, that was weird. I kinda get both sides. Dickerson should have been ready, but at the same time, you don't want to see a batter not expecting a pitch, then having one at their head or something.
It seems like he has trouble finding the plate at all to lefties, and throws too many strikes down the middle to righties. He needs to pretend they're the opposite or something.
He wouldn't help much at SS, but Jed Lowrie would be a nice fit. Dee Gordon is another possibility, although who knows what the new ownership group is gonna do.
Strongly disagree with exposing him. He's always hit, except for this year with some family stuff going on (if I remember right). You can trade him, but giving away legitimately good prospects is just plain stupid. He would definitely be claimed.
