With Dickey comes Thole as well, who is the same or worse than a pitcher batting.
I'm not even sure why they need Thole catching Dickey. It's not like he does a good job. I know why they don't want Martin catching Dickey (injury and frustration), but any backup catcher in the league could probably go in there and do what Thole is doing. It's not like he's doing a good job of blocking balls or keeping them in front of him.
