There is also the small issue of who is going to catch Dickey, with the only real option being John "I can no longer hit myself out of a wet paper bag" Buck. JPA catching Dickey would be an absolute gong show. If the deal does go down, perhaps AA goes after another catcher? Or flips Buck somehow? I've read on another board that perhaps a Buck/Josh Thole swap will be a part of the Dickey deal...but to be quite honest I don't know much about Thole.
