Would you feel it plausible to give one pitcher in my system who's really a long shot at the majors a knuckleball?

I'd start it at like 1/1/10 or something and leave him be.

Figure it's him trying whatever he can to make it, or something.

I guess I'm just itching for a knuckleballer and don't want to trade for Dickey (don't like his knuckleball anyway, I want a Charlie Hough/Tom Candiotti 60s-MPH knuckler, not Dickey's 80 MPH version).

I'd make sure it's a pitcher with no velocity (or drop his FB in favor for the KN) so there's no 90 MPH with a knuckleballer sort of thing.

Thoughts?

P.S. Do the generated (I assume they are generated and not pre-set like Madden?) draft classes create some knuckleballers?
