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

I agree...and I am loathe to say bad things about a fellow UVA grad, but Tyler was not a major league pitcher.  Neither is Mike Wright.

Huge difference. Wilson actually contributed to a team in 2016 that made the playoffs. He imploded over his last few starts, but he held it together for two months or so. Wright had two good starts with no scouting report against weak hitting teams. Gimme Wilson. 

Wilson was better. If you really want a tiebreaker, Wright played a role in Wallace/Chiti leaving.

Teams have scouting reports on players in the minors.

Was expecting this thread bump to be about him being released.

He's better one of the better starting pitchers in the KBO.
