That said, I actually didn't mind them picking up Dickey's option so that he could eat innings away at a reasonable price, but that was on the assumption that Josh Thole would be long again. Dickey is now a double negative.

he has had an era over 4 once in the last 6 years...so thats complete hyperbole.
I get that he has struggled thus far...but its game friggin 16 of the season. Give it some time and its probable, like in years past, he finds his groove and gives them a bunch of innings.
As for Thole..yeah i dont like him much either but you cant have Martin playing every game either.
