Hey all, not directly fantasy related here, but there’s this CNN article about the dying art of the knuckleball:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/the_bonus/06/25/wakefield/index.html
They mention Wakefield and R.A. Dickey as the only current big leaguers tossing the flutterball, and they also mention others like Boston’s minor leaguer Charlie Zink.
I recall Corey mentioning that some mlb pitcher who used the knuckler basically like a change-up, mixing it in with other pitches. Anyone remember who that pitcher was?
-Dan in LA
Josh Banks of the Padres.
–CS
Excellent, thanks.
