Cincinnati Reds: Jesse Winker is ready to breakout in 2019

It appears it’s deja view all over again for Jesse Winker. Before the 2018 season, the Cincinnati Reds braintrust was determined to find ample playing time in the outfield for their left-handed hitting rookie. Of course, the club was trying to find a way to make a sustainable rotation between Winker, Billy Hamilton, Adam Duvall and Scott Schebler.

Fast forward to 2019 and Winker no longer has to worry about losing at bats to Hamilton and Duvall, but now former Los Angeles Dodgers Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp, along with the aforementioned Schebler, join a crowded Cincinnati Reds outfield.
