Knuckler Idol
Great idea here. Probably the biggest constraint on a team in trying to find the next knuckler is the cost. If you have a 1% chance at getting the next Tim Wakefield, then you need 100 pitchers willing to try this, and it's going to go for years. But, get someone else to pay for part of that cost?, and suddenly, it gets a bit more attractive. Anyway, regardless of how serious this is supposed to be, it sounds like great fun. Getting former quarterbacks to try this seems like a decent way not to worry about "undoing" mechanics that may not apply here, not to mention that former pitchers are probably in denial anyway. Anyway, just love the whole effort behind it.
