Former Reds All-Star Jesse Winker putting past behind him with new start in Milwaukee

PHOENIX – After Jesse Winker had the worst season of his Major League career, it’s understandable he doesn’t want to revisit the past.

“It wasn't a good year for me,” Winker said. “It's that simple. I'm excited I got some things put behind me and I can just play.”

One year after Jesse Winker put together his first All-Star season, emerging as one of the top hitters against righthanded pitching in the majors, nothing went right for him.

He was stunned when the Cincinnati Reds traded him last March, the headliner in a six-player deal with the Seattle Mariners.
