I still remember the fangraphs article about him having 4 plus pitches.

Didn’t even realize he was a free agent.   Appreciation thread?   ?

Six year FA. He was not on the 40.

I always liked Wilson. I still like him better than Wright. Call me crazy but I would have liked to seen the organization give Wilson another shot at the rotation. Wright imo is just awful and will never amount to anything.

Wright has a major league pitch.

Tyler will be playing on the same team as Kim. I wonder if Tyler did this on purpose. Maybe they are friends.

I always liked him.  I wish him the best overseas.

If you could Tyler Wilson's head on Mike Wright's body, you might have something.....If, if, if....

I've never seen it.  The same pitch that helps him to a 5.86 ERA?

Wilson and Wright are like this decades Kline and DeJean for me.

Wright has a major league arm.  The problem is he doesn't know how to pitch.  If you could combine Wright's arm with Wilson's pitching style, you would have a very good pitcher.

Too bad we don't have a way to Frankenstein players.

Wright hits upper 90s with his 4 seamer and has a good 2 seamer as well (shown below at 93mph).  He has multiple MLB pitches, just a poor feel for pitching and fringe command.

Wilson had a MLB pitch as well (slider), just not a fastball.

I was being sarcastic.  I know he has a live arm.  Doesn't really matter though, he is terrible.

I'd argue that without the command, he doesn't have an MLB pitch.

He’s been pretty good over there. 12 QS in 14 GS. 2.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 87k/16BB, in 91 IP. 

We all know the answer, but how has Wright stuck around when Wilson was actually serviceable?  Some NL team will probably pick him up next year and he’ll be a decent 4th/5th SP.

I always liked Wilson better than Wright.   I have never seen the good stuff Wright is supposed to have.

They’re both AAAA fodder.    It’s almost irrelevant which one’s better.
