I don't understand why, but my guess is that clubs would prefer to have really talented guys that threw in a conventional style instead of a bunch of guys who normally wouldn't hack it but are there because of a gimmick.
I think you hit the nail on the head. The scouts are always looking for a power arm and prefer that pitchers are at least 6' 3" (preferably taller). However in this era of strict pitch counts having a knuckleball pitcher who does not require a pitch count would be huge.
