Smyly should make about $6M in 2017. Dickey will make $8M, and Colon will make $12M. I know which pitcher I would much prefer on the Braves staff.
I think I would rather have Smyly and whatever else the Braves could do with the money they saved (like adding more to sign Castro, or maybe win the bidding on Robert) by not signing one of the two geriatric pitchers rather than having Mr. Gohara in the stable of A ball arms.
