I'd jeer too. Guy cost an arm and a leg and was hailed as a savior. So far he looks like a bad buy that cost the Jays two really good, young players.

it was a ridiculously stupid deal. Dickey doesn't have the arm to be an major league pitcher, so he started relying on a gimmick to stay in the bigs. well when that gimmick runs it's course, this is what you get. the only reason he had as good of a run as he did was because knuckeballers are so rare in the MLB. but now scouts have had several seasons to watch him and hitters have learned what to expect
i'd be surprised if the Jays won a single game this year when Dickey is the starter
