Jesse Winker Could Be Leading Candidate To Hit Leadoff
6 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker could be the leading candidate to hit leadoff this season, with first baseman Joey Votto hitting second, third baseman Eugenio Suarez third and second baseman Scooter Gennett in the cleanup spot. Winker, 25, hit .299/.405/.431 with seven home runs and 43 RBI in 89 games before an injury derailed his season. He's an excellent late-round sleeper target with even more upside if he hits leadoff regularly. Shortstop Jose Peraza would be the real loser in this scenario, as he'd likely hit somewhere near the bottom of the order.
