Lots of people are really under estimating Dickey. He is probably the only human being that has ever been able to throw a 80mph knuckleball. He can throw 5 pitches, (2 knuckleballs, 2 fastballs, and a changeup) and has been among the top 5 pitchers in baseball the last 3 years. Over his last 620 innings he has been better than every pitcher on the Blue Jays current staff and highly coveted guys like Zach Greinke. If Dickey goes to the Jays that gives them the best rotation in the AL east in my opinion.
I keep hear stupid things like this: (from TSN comments)
A 38 year old, career year, knuckleballer in a dome - yeah that is a deal that should be made - heck send our 1st round pick for the next 10 years there.
For one a knuckleball will probably be even better in the dome, Wakefield said he loved playing in Toronto especially when the dome was shut. Also knuckleballers tend to age well, and Dickey doesn't have a lot of mileage thus far. He has also been a work horse the last 3 years, and should be a 200+ innings guy. Also the TSN comments guy shows how much he knows about baseball when he mentioned trading draft picks in MLB. Get it done AA!!
