I told my son that Wakefield is going for Boston on Friday.. My son said why not on thursday have batting practice with a knuckleballer. So I said we have a knuckleballer in the minors. I knowit was used in this forum would it be legal to use on of our non roster players to pitch batting practice? What is our knuckleballers name?

I seen this year Huntsville Stars use a Knucle Baller throw BP and they hit Blast after Blast and then come up against Haeger in 2 games in both Haeger threw complete game shutouts and the Stars managed 5 hits in the 2 games. And I talked to Manager Don Money he said that Knucle ballers vary so much that it taking BP against one does not help. That is what former major leaguer Don Money says I am not sure if I believe him or not

The Yankees had some old knuckleballer pitch BP to them before the Wakefield game last weekend.

I saw on Comcast that the Sox were taking Knuckleball Batting practice on Thursday. They didn't say who was throwing, though.

It may have been Frank Thomas or Bobby Jenks. Frank appearantly throws a wicked knuckleball and Jenks' knuckleball is like 80 MPH.

his breaking stuff is already nasty

and even the few times hes thrown a change-up, it wasnt that bad either.
