Last year he was but not sure about the other years and certainly not any time before when he sucked.

He is not a sure thing, but there's really nothing out there that would suggest he is going to regress. There's more then a big enough sample size with knuckle ball pitchers that show us they last much longer then a normal pitcher, and don't see a decline, even in these later years. There's really nothing in his advanced statistics that hint at a regress or that batters figured him out and all. Even a switch to a stronger division would have a pretty minimal effect.

Not really a fan of knuckleballers all that much and a lot of reason guys haven;t fallen off is that they haven't been that good (recent guys).
Just not that much to indicate that Dickey will replicate his year from last year or that he is that good of a pitcher.
