Newsbreakers

November 9, 2009

According to the Mercury News, the San Francisco Giants have informed outfielder Randy Winn that he should seek employment elsewhere for next season. Winn has said that he would like to return to the team next season, but they have no interest in bringing him back.

Our View:

Winn has to be a bit disappointed, as he made no secret about the fact that he loved playing with the team. He wants an everyday starting job, and there won't be one available for him with the Giants. He doesn't figure to make a fantasy impact regardless of where he ends up next year.

October 18, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that Randy Winn would like to return to San Francisco next season. Winn will be a free-agent this winter, but the Giants appear interested in upgrading their outfield, specifically with a power-hitter.

Our View:

Winn loves it in San Fran, but it seems unlikely that he will be back next season. The Giants need more offense, and it seems unlikely Winn would sign there to come off the bench. He hit only .262 with two homers and 51 RBI last season, so his best fantasy days look to be behind him.

August 14, 2009

According to the San Jose Mercury News, Randy Winn is not in Friday's starting lineup.

Our View:

Winn is just getting a day off as the Giants are shuffling their outfield around. Nate Schierholtz will get the start in his place. Adjust your lineups accordingly.

July 29, 2009

Randy Winn's tenth inning single provided the only run of the game on Wednesday, as the Giants outlasted the Pirates 1-0 in ten innings.

Our View:

Yikes. One run against the Pirates with Matt Cain going. Could be the final straw that compels to the Giants to get Pittsburgh's Freddy Sanchez.

July 21, 2009

Leadoff man Randy Winn went 2-for-3 on Tuesday, but the Giants offense did little else, as San Francisco got pummeled 8-1 by the Braves.

Our View:

Winn has only two home runs in 2009, but has managed to drive in 39 runs. He has very limited value in most mixed leagues.

July 20, 2009

Randy Winn was productive in tonight's 11-3 loss at Atlanta, as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

The Giants only had six hits in the game, but Winn managed to have a solid outing for fantasy owners. Winn snapped a six-game drought without an RBI, and is hitting .310 so far this month.

July 11, 2009

Randy Winn went 2-for-4 with a run scored in tonight's 2-1 win over the Padres at AT&T Park. Both of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

Winn looks to be fine after leaving Friday's game after fouling a ball off his right foot.

July 10, 2009

Randy Winn exited tonight's battle with the Padres after fouling a ball off his right foot, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

Nate Schierholtz replaced him in the lineup. Further details regarding Winn's injury are yet to be disclosed.

June 21, 2009

Randy Winn went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Rangers at AT&T Park. Both of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

Winn was in need of a solid outing, as he only had one hit over his previous 15 at-bats. He is only hitting .250 so far this month after hitting .314 in May.

June 11, 2009

The San Jose Mercury News reports that outfielder Randy Winn will get the day off on Thursday. The Giants square off with the Diamondbacks in a day game following the night game and Nate Schierholtz will make the start in right field.

Our View:

Winn has been steady, but rather unspectacular this season. He has just two home runs, but he still has some speed at 35 years old. He's stolen eight bags and scored 31 times on the season.

June 4, 2009

Randy Winn led the Giants in Thursday's 5-1 win at Washington, as he went 1-for-4 with a two-run double.

Our View:

Winn is performing well right now, as he generated an RBI in each of his last three games, with a total of four over the span. Keep him active in fantasy lineups while hot.

May 19, 2009

Randy Winn had a three hit night for the Giants on Tuesday, but he was about the only one hitting and they fell to the Padres 2-1. Winn was 3-for-4 with a double in the contest.

Our View:

Winn had half of the team's six hits tonight, but they just couldn't get anything going against Padres' starter Chris Young. Winn has been better as of late, and his average now sits at .270 on the year.

May 10, 2009

Randy Winn went 4-for-6 with a double, a walk, four runs scored, and two RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Dodgers. He played all three outfield positions.

Our View:

Winn has not done much for his fantasy owners this season as he is hitting only .243. Still, he plays nearly every game and figures to hit better going forward. If you are desperate for an outfielder, Winn would be a solid buy-low option as he could make another push at 20 stolen bases. He has four so far in 2009.

May 2, 2009

Randy Winn exited Saturday's game against Colorado in the eighth inning after experiencing pain in his side.

Our View:

Winn is optimistic the ailment is minor, but the Giants are yet to evaluate him and update his status.

April 30, 2009

Randy Winn hopes to return to the lineup Friday against Colorado after fouling a ball off his knee in Tuesday's game, according to the Mercury News.

Our View:

Winn noted that he feels as young and as fast as ever. The 34-year-old vet is off to a poor start however, with a .221 average and 18 strikeouts over 77 at-bats.

April 29, 2009

Randy Winn got the night off on Wednesday after fouling a ball off of his knee in Tuesday's game. Nate Schierholtz started in his place.

Our View:

Winn has eight extra base hits and three stolen bases already, but he is hitting only .221. He is not a very strong option at this point in most fantasy leagues, but the potential to make an impact is still there.

April 25, 2009

Randy Winn went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored as the Giants beat the Diamondbacks 5-3 on Saturday.

Our View:

Winn has not provided many reasons to roster him in the early going although he does have three steals and he's hit third in the order tonight. If you're in a deep league, he could be a nice buy low candidate.

April 10, 2009

Randy Winn, who's gotten off to a hot 4-for-11 start with one home run and two stolen bases, apparently has the green light from manager Bruce Bochy to steal whenever he thinks he can, according to MLB.com. "Hitting third, it didn't give me as many opportunities," Winn said regarding last season. "Now, [manager Bruce Bochy] has said, 'If you get the opportunity and you think you can go, then go.' It's nice to get back to that."

Our View:

After spending much of last season in the three-hole, Winn should remain San Francisco's everyday leadoff hitter as long as he stays healthy, which should provide for plenty of stolen base opportunities. He's converted on both attempts this season, was 25-of-27 in 2008 and 15-of-18 the year before, so it doesn't seem at all unrealistic to think that he could surpass 30 this season, even though he's never topped 27 before.

March 22, 2009

Randy Winn went 3-for-4 from the leadoff spot in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers. He finished with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored.

Our View:

The veteran is only hitting .240 this spring, but he could very well make another run at .300 this season. He has stolen 40 bases over the past two seasons, and 20 more in 2009 is not out of the question.

March 10, 2009

Randy Winn is dealing with back tightness and he will rest Tuesday after playing in three straight games, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

The 34-year-old vet may not steal 25 bases again, but he should still be productive enough to use as a No. 5 outfielder.

March 2, 2009

Randy Winn went 0-for-2 on Sunday with a walk and a strikeout.

Our View:

It was nice for Winn to reach base on Sunday, as we thought he might have forgotten what it was like since he's been held hitless this spring.

February 28, 2009

Randy Winn's rough start to the spring continued on Saturday as he went 0-for-3 for the Giants.

Our View:

Winn is still hitless in the Cactus League this spring. He batted .306 last year, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't be worried, especially with five weeks left in spring training.
