Ok the guy won the Cy Young, but it's not like he was a solid pitcher that got better and better and won it, he came out of nowhere to do it with a gimmick pitch. A very short term move imo, I don't know if I'm a fan of that cost for it.

I agree there is risk, but Dickey is better then you say. He has had at least 3 good years now, so he didn't quite come out of nowhere.
I am still a little gunshy about giving up young players, but I will be very excited if we do go ahead and do it. I would trust AA to restock our outfield prospects.
