Dickey is 40 years old with two good seasons, both in arguably the worst offensive division in baseball, and certainly no AL East.
Buehrle is a league average innings eater - not bad, but no ones idea of an ideal #2 surely
Morrow...lol, sure, this is the year...he's had an ERA over 4.30 in four of the last five years, and last year was the worst at 5.63. He's even stopped striking guys out (down to 7.0 and 7.8 in 2012). Also an injury risk.
Happ, McGowan, Drabek, Rogers all perhaps a little better than replacement, but only a little. Stroman and Hutchison are complete ?
Just my opinion, and you may end up being right, but looks pretty weak to me, and I'd suggest this is more or less the conventional opinion of most (again, not saying couldn't be proven wrong)
