Thought this was really cool from fangraphs, its about putting a value on the effect of pitching afteer the knuckleballer. Dickey could he adding up to 1.4-1.8 WAR per year just by pitching 200 innings and "messing up hitters" for those who follow him. http://www.fangraphs.com/community/the- ... 3-edition/

Woah, Jerry Manuel might have been right about something?

We're not now going to have to supply 'After Dickey effect' photos like we did with the 'Dickey Face' ones, are we? One just shudders at what FMan might come up with for that contest.

That is some awesome, awesome work. Now do Eckstein, Fangraphs-guy!

Like I said, it is probably better to use FIP rather than ERA. Seems to me that it would be better to not measure the pitchers at all, as but rather to measure the batters that faced him. Maybe a more progressive effect can be detected on guys that faced him two, three, four times.
