I didn't read every post I just noticed some posters called you out on him being below average. It depends what you mean by average. Brett Anderson might be a better pitcher than Dickey but he is made of glass so how do you rank that?
I wasn't talking about cost, but Dickey at 13 million is a very reasonable contract and it's questionable to assume they could get a significant upgrade for those savings. What I meant was this year, Dickey is a better pitcher to have than Syndergaard. I still don't see how you can argue otherwise... once again people on this forum are overrating the immediate impact of prospects.
