I'm surprised we have not got the proverbial "it has no bearing on the game" from teccywerg yet.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT HAVE NO BEARING ON THE GAME, AND YOU ARE THEREFORE NOT ALLOWED TO BE INTERESTED IN IT.

I've been told that height for position players influences the ability to draw walks (i.e. the shorter the player = the smaller the strike zone).

This 1B prospect is listed at 6'10, 200 lbs. I can't remember how much he weighed when I drafted him, but I could swear he gained about 40 pounds since the rollover.

1)  Dude's gonna be able to HIT.
2)  6'10", 200 is almost a stick figure; if you really drafted him at, say, 6'8" and 170, that's almost clinically malnourished.  Not that it matters; it's just like the 5'10" guys with 26 speed who say they're holding out for more money because they can get a pro basketball contract.

Somehow, that reminds me of a funny story.

The day after Eddie Gaedel made his famed appearance as a pinch hitter for the St. Louis Browns, the American League president voided Gaedel's contract and admonished Bill Veeck for making a "mockery of the game" for signing and sending a midget to bat during a game.  Veeck then threatened to ask MLB for an offical ruling as to whether Yankee shortstop and reigning AL MVP Phil Rizzuto was a short ballplayer or a tall midget.

This guy is 5'5" and 210 pounds.  And a first baseman.  Better get those throws down low.
