The spending spree continues up north.
Problem with knuckleballers is that they can fall to **** in a hurry.

Any pitcher can. The truth is knuckleballers are easily the most consistent pitchers year in and year out.

This was a great trade for the Mets. They got a potential star level catcher that is ready to play and a very good power pitching prospect that might be reeady next year. They got Dickey for basically nothing and they leveraged him into 2 potential all star level players in their early 20's

Agreed, the next thing they need to do is get Santana off to a good start and move him.

If Dickey comes close to having the same kind of year he did last year it'll be a good deal for both teams.

Although the Blue Jays play in that "high-school like" spring training stadium, Dunedin is a great town and a fun place to take in a game !!!

Probably best place to see a spring training game in FL. Rarely crowded on weekdays, cheap tickets, small stadium. A few years back got seats 2 rows behind home plate 10 minutes before the game started and starters were Halladay versus Johan Santana when they were both in their primes. Think tickets were like $15 bucks. Parked for free on some side street a few blocks away.
