From MLBtraderumors.com Randy Winn Wants To Stay With Giants By Zach Links [October 18, 2009 at 7:50pm CST] Chris Haft of MLB.com reports that Giants outfielder Randy Winn wants to re-sign with the club as he enters the open market for the first time in his career. Haft writes that it is "easy to surmise" that San Francisco will choose not to retain the 35-year-old as he had his worst offensive production in a 100+ game season, posting .262/.318/.353 with two homers. It should be noted that while he struggled at the plate, Winn was still strong defensively. Seeing time at each spot in the outfield (but mostly the corner positions), the one-time all-star posted a UZR/150 of 15.5. Winn - who projects as a Type B free agent - is coming off of a three-year pact with the Giants worth $23.25MM. While Fangraphs valued his 2008 performance to be worth $20.4MM on the open market, his play in 2009 is quoted at $8.1MM. Back only if at Vet's minumum. Gonna be hard to find a better defensive replacement.

Definitely depends on what else we do -- at best, I'd only want him as a 4th or 5th OF.

With Rowand, Schierholtz, and Velez, and hopefully at least one acquisition, it's hard to justify bringing back Randy after the season he had.

Went from...
.306, 10 HR, 25 SB to...
.262, 2 HR, 16 SB.

He'll just be taking up space. We have too many young guys to try out, and he'll just get in the way. Sorry randy, it was nice for a bit, but now it's time to say goodbye.
