I was looking at those years too. He walked a lot of guys and didn't strike out a ton of people, but still managed to barely get touched. I wonder if that knuckleball was truly in his arsenal. It seems to make so much sense when you look at the raw stats. It would be hard to control, which would lead to walks and limited strike outs, and would also be hard to hit squarely and put into play with any power, which would explain why he was able to keep his ERA so low and suffer such little damage despite the walks.
