I doubt it, he's said as long as he can compete he'll stay in the MLB, but you never know. He doesn't seem to care much for money, and he has plenty now.
He's a FIP buster, and essentially you shouldn't look at KB'ers and FIP busters other than their ERA and RA9-WAR, but thing is, his ERA is north of 7 in the second half, lol. He's been bad, and we need him to turn it around starting tonight.
Yeah, I've always had his back, but his value is plummeting, not quite to the point of skipping his starts for the exact reason you've posted. The conversation of having him on our roster next year seems ridiculous to me at this point, especially since we've acquired Liriano. It'll be an interesting offseason.
My God... Dickey's RA9-WAR has hit a brick wall... he might not even be worth his contract this season. I'm thinking it's 4th and 40, time to punt.
