Is in the reds line up tonight. Jesse winker. Just about everyone in the Reds Front Office expect winker to be an everyday major leaguer by 2017. And maybe sooner. Think about it. The reds have no left fielder at the moment. And if winker has a decent spring, maybe the reds will let the future by now. And start winker in left field on opening day. I asked him about that when i was in goodyear a couple of weeks ago. Trt 18outcue . Ill be ready for it. winker absolutely. If thats the plan, then ill be ready for that. I dont place expectations on the game of a positive mind set and look forward, this games really fun for me. If thats the winker will most probably begin the season at triplea.
