They don't need Thole to catch them. I'm expecting that eveytime you evaluate Dickey you are encorpirating Thole because whatever starting catcher we've had during his 3 year stint (Arencibia, Martin or Navarro) we've been using Thole instead. So whether you evaluate Dickey using fWAR or RA9-WAR to evaluate Dickey at 0.7-1.2 WAR, his buddy is costing us -0.6 WAR
So the package is 0.1-0.6WAR. I think Liriano can give us exactly this if not better without rostering his buddy or seeing his stupid floater for the rest of the month
