All R.A. Dickey All The Time!

Last night New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey ran away with the 2012 National League Cy Young Award, becoming the first knuckleballer to do so. For all the video analysis I could find on the web, check it out right here.

ESPN won't allow users to embed most of their videos but you can check out Adam Rubin conversation here and the Karl Ravech and Curt Schilling analysis here and watch the R.A. Dickey SportCenter interview here:

R.A. Dickey: The Market’s Other Ace | FanGraphs Baseball

I have to begrudgingly admit that I agree with the premise of this post on FanGraphs:
There are teams best suited to take a chance on a talented 38-year-old knuckleballer. The present New York Mets aren’t real high on that list.
As much as I enjoyed R.A. Dickey pitch and hope he does win the National League Cy Young Award this season, I'm not sure he's going to be the same pitcher he is now when the Mets are finally ready to contend. It's a shame because he's really fun to watch pitch.
