Orioles released OF Randy Winn. | ||||||
Winn was given that information Monday morning and will now try to latch on with another organization before the start of the regular season. If he fails to find a big league job, which is highly possible, the O's could invite him back and place him at Triple-A Norfolk. | ||||||

Randy Winn went 2-for-3 and homered as the Orioles' leadoff man in an 8-2 defeat of the Pirates on Monday. | ||||||
Winn is hoping the Orioles decide to carry five outfielders on their Opening Day roster. He was hitting .182 in 22 at-bats entering the day, so he could use a few more games to build a compelling case. | ||||||

| Thu Feb 3 2011 | 17:18 | Orioles ink Randy Winn to minors contract | ||||
Orioles signed OF Randy Winn to a minor league contract. | ||||||
The deal also comes with an invitation to spring training, where Winn will face an uphill battle if his goal is to land a spot on Baltimore's Opening Day roster. The 36-year-old batted just .239/.307/.356 with four home runs and six stolen bases for the Yankees and Cardinals last season. He also lacks range defensively and often plays curiously deep to make up for it. | ||||||

Randy Winn would like to continue to play in 2011 if he can "find a team that would like me to play for them." | ||||||
It won't be easy. Winn hit just .239/.307/.356 with four homers and six steals for the Yankees and Cardinals last season. The 36-year-old will have to accept a minor league deal somewhere and hope to earn a bench spot. His days as a solid fantasy option are certainly over. | ||||||

According to the team's official Twitter page, the Cardinals are close to signing Randy Winn. | ||||||
Winn was recently designated for assignment by the Yankees, but the Cardinals must feel that he has enough left in the tank to contribute. The 36-year-old outfielder hit .213/.300/.295 in 71 PAs with the Yankees this season. | ||||||

After getting all of 13 at-bats in April, Winn was OK while helping to fill in for Curtis Granderson this month, hitting .250/.351/.354. Still, the Yankees opted to keep Kevin Russo over him. They'll start looking for a more imposing bench bat at some point. | ||||||
