The Jays current rotation has improved so much that some experts say they are contenders, then do they really need Dickey at the expense of giving up the best catching prospect in all of AAA baseball. Some might say TDA is just a prospect and is a gamble, true enough but so is a 38 year old soon to be pensioner. TDA'S credentials are repeatable blue chip material.
