Adios Dickey

The fence has two sides on this one...those that wanted to keep RA Dickey since he was our best pitcher and a symbol of good on a bad team...and the other side which says trade him and get a million n prospects back.

SoulSlam is somewhere in the middle of the fence. I like RA Dickey. He's gutty, a stand-up guy, the type of guy you root for 100%. But he's 38. Everything tells me that if you can trade a 38YO for a 20-something guy, you do it.

So we say goodbye, pending a finalization by Tuesday. But know this: Travis d'Arnaud is a fine prospect, catcher by trade. We still have no MLB-type outfielders for 2013. Pretty sure we need some.
