Winn should not be batting third

Drop him to seventh, move Rowand up to third, and move everyone else up accordingly.

Winn does not hit well with men on base.

Worse than almost every other Giant.

by tobias on May 27, 2008 8:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

Switching Winn and Rowand makes sense.

Also, how Winn hits with men on base is really going to fluctuate. Better to look at how he hits in general.

by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on May 27, 2008 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

Winn's approach appears to change greatly with men on base

Starts swinging at everything. He becomes a much worse hitter with men on base.

With bases empty, Winn takes a good share of pitches, gets walked a lot more, and gets more hitters’ counts. He also seems less anxious and ends driving more pitches for extra bases. Don’t know why he can’t bring that approach to situations with runners on base.

That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!

He’s had some bad luck too.

8.02 K/9, 2.11 BB/9 – 19 K/5 BB. That’s good. 4 HR in 22 IP? That’s not good, but 17.4% of his FB allowed are HR. That’s high.

He should have an ERA closer to 4.
