R.A. Dickey, Toronto Blue Jays -- Dickey is going to struggle whenever his knuckler isn't dancing, as was the case on Opening Day. He allowed six runs on five hits and six walks in five innings against the Rays. It's those six walks that are troubling. His success is built on him being the only one who knows where his knuckle ball is going. When that isn't the case, as was too often true last year, he's going to run into problems.
