DUNEDIN, Fla. - J.P. Arencibia says he is looking forward to catching knuckleballer R.A. Dickey this season.

The Blue Jays also acquired catchers Henry Blanco, Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas, who have all handled Dickey in the past.

But incumbent Arencibia says he wants to be at the other end of the Dickey floater.

Arencibia and Dickey both live in Nashville and have been working out together in the off-season.
