But he hit a wall fairly early last season and it's come more and more to light that he can't hit LH pitching at all. There's no problem keeping him as a bench player and he's only 26 I believe ? But every game that goes by it's becoming more obvious he's not an everyday starter. Will he turn it around this season ? Is there any trade value there ?
Winker's .830 OPS last year ranked in the top 20 among NL outfielders. (Minimum 300 at bats)
Seventy percent of ML pitchers are right-handed and Winker's OPS was close to .900 against them last year.
Even if he is just considered a platoon player it is pretty silly to question if he has any trade value.
