Reds' Jesse Winker: Under consideration for Reds' left field job
Winker is under consideration for the Reds' left field job this spring, though he's not the favorite. "I would not say he can't make the team," manager Bryan Price said Friday. "We know right now that we've got some guys competing for left field. I would say Adam Duvall, Scott Schebler and Yorman [Rodriguez] are probably -- I hate to say the favorites -- but they're guys we're looking at. They've done what they needed to do at the Triple-A level."
It's still very unlikely that Winker will win the job, even with a monster spring, because he's not on the 40-man roster yet and hasn't played at all in Triple-A. Given the Reds' presumed status as a non-contender this year, there's little reason to rush Winker's progression until he's absolutely beating the door down in front of him.
