As much as I like Dickey, to expect a repeat performance from him is asking a lot. What, Dickey will help them win 79 games instead of 75?

With Niese, Harvey, Santana, Gee, Marcum the Mets actually trot out a decent starting staff. And then they have to find room for Wheeler. Dickey was a luxury, and they cashed that chip in at the highest point.

That is not letting him walk.

not signing Reyes was the right thing to do, as they were in no position to do that- in hindsight they didnt lose much at SS with Ruben Tejada, wouldnt you agree?

At least be accurate.... they dealt him for one of the top catching prospects in all of baseball and another top pitching prospect, #3 in the Jays system.

They traded an aging pitcher at his highest value; thats not a bad move if you look at it impartially.
