Worthless Winker

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I dunno what the latest is on this guy's back injury but I have little patience for role players too unhealthy to answer the bell. I get it when a pitcher gets hurt and to an extent when an everyday guy goes down. But if you're a guy whose job it is to fill in when other guys are out, and you're out, you're worthless.



Mad at Winker and weak body

I don't know how much I get to second-guess injuries — if the docs/trainers say he's hurt, then I believe them. I get it seems bad to injure your back right after spending 8 weeks rehabbing your oblique.



This is to me more an Stearns issue: the team has been short on hitters all year and even more so now.

I like Winkie's hair and attitude as much as the next guy, maybe more.



This reminds me a little bit of when Justin Turner had multiple DL stints whatever year that was. Very useful player when available but a big swing in team effectiveness when he wasn't.



What if an outfielder for the Mets gets dinged up now? Winker won't be there to fill in

[Edgy MD]

And outfielder for the Mets did get dinged up.

Back tightness after an 8 week rehab is not the best look. He gets paid big bucks for what, playing part time and he fails at that task



Drew Gilbert has been decent at Syracuse. I cup of coffee for him could prove to be fruitful
