Basically, people (like me) like Dickinson because he's producing significant offensive results despite the fact that he's mostly lauded for his defensive abilities. By all means prefer Parekh for the ridiculous upside and absolutely bonkers results, but don't begrudge people who think a more well-rounded player at the top of the lineup could be just as good or better (especially for an organization that already has Poirier, Brzustewicz, and Morin as offensive guys).

I'm not begrudgining anyone at all. I'm asking honest questions.
