Just listened to this on The drive home from work. Audio was just fine. After the rough stretch Winn went through with Covid and Tj surgery it's nice to see him having success. Definitely rooting for him this year.
Thanks Roger - interesting insight into TJ surgery and the path back. Thought he was an unexpected Rule 5 protection and hoping he'll get a strong year in SAC
I was surprised too -- as shown by my failure to get a Rule 5 Decisions post on him written before the deadline! But I think a big factor in his favor is the splitter. That's a pitch that is generally on a real upswing around baseball after a few decades of being considered an "arm killer" and the Giants' FO in particular absolutely LOVES it and seeks it out repeatedly. Just thinking about it from that perspective it probably should have been obvious to me that they'd protect him but highsight is 20/20 as they say
