If RA Dickey could figure out how to control a knuckle ball, then Deduno can figure out his fastball... If the kid ever learns to control it, the Twins just lucked out with an extremely valuable asset... I'm not expecting that. Like others said, if he gets a bit less wild with it, he should be a fairly servicable starter on a team that doesn't have nearly enough.

Think we see where the abberation is (vs KC/Clev/Bos also)

Keep throwing him out there & he will take care of any arguement of whether he should be in the mix next year for MN
