2012-06-07 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Assuming Jaime Garcia goes on the DL, what can we expect from his potential replacements, likely Joe Kelly or Brandon Dickson. Thanks. (mdthomp from ILSTU)	Dickson is a nice story, but I wouldn't be too excited about him; he gets groundballs and avoids walks, but his profile doesn't sound like much more than a back-end starter at best. Kelly has the better stuff and the brighter future. The problem with him is that he might wind up in the bullpen. (R.J. Anderson)
