Winker's defense is definitely not as good as Ervin or Puig, but that's why Winker is best suited for LF. Ervin is probably best suited for RF but he can play all three spots.

I don't want anyone to get the idea that I don't like Puig. I like him a lot actually. But, just like I thought with Scooter before Senzel was moved to CF, if there's potentially a good replacement waiting in the wings, I'd rather see the extra $$ spent elsewhere. With Roark, Wood, and DeSclafani all set to hit FA after this season, I think a lot of money will need to be shoveled into SP if the Reds really want to build off of this year.
