I guess I didn't realize how huge he was.  BBref has him listed at 6'7'' 225.  Has Bautista @ 6'5'' 190.....no buying the 190.  He has to be 230 easy.  

Tyler Wells is 6'8", hence his uni #.

I didn’t realize that.  That’s awesome.  When Grayson comes up they are gonna have some xl sized men on the pitching staff like never before.

Here is a recent quick read on Tyler from the MLB.com archives.

Does your number have any special meaning behind it?
It didn’t until I had fans point out that I’m also 6’8” so now I just attribute it to me being 6’8.

They said 270 during a game last week.

 Clocking 101 a few times in his last game!

I’m going to assume you blocked the memories of Daniel Cabrera out of your mind (and I don’t blame you).

 

Ahhh, Daniel Cabrera's shoe!

Wait, what?

Hmm. was that something public, or a private memory from Old Yankee Stadium after the 12-2 shellacking? 

I think I need a nap.

Right?

102 mph. 

[Pickles]

So by the Cardinals broadcast that was 99, 100, 102 and then 89 on the breaking ball.

That was some nasty stuff.

[PHRESH]

Felix should get a #102 jersey 

[Frobby]

That was a big boy save.

Perfect time to throw the slider.  

[RZNJ]

He threw strikes.  I guess it took him a month to find the extra 5 mph we heard about or maybe he dialed it down a notch to throw strikes.  I'm not sure but if this dude can consistently throw strikes we've really got something. 

This regime doesn't know how to develop pitching?   Maybe not but Bradish, Bautista, and to a lesser degree Akins and Tyler Wells are a good start.

Yeah, unless you hang it and Jim Palmer says "why speed the bat up when he can't hit your fastball ".
