Josh Winder

If Winder had finished the year healthy, he would be ranked significantly higher as a fantasy prospect and would be a very intriguing selection in draft-and-hold leagues. Even with his season sputtering out due to shoulder fatigue, he is at least worth monitoring this spring to see if he is back to full strength. A physical specimen at 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, the big righty checks all the boxes for a future starter, provided he can handle the workload. Winder has a mid-90s fastball, two plus secondaries in his mid-80s slider and upper-80s changeup and a fourth-pitch curveball that could be an average offering. He dominated at Double-A (1.98 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, 31.3 K%, 4.8 BB%), but was less dominant in four starts at Triple-A (4.67 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 22.4 K%, 4.8 BB%). Perhaps his shoulder had already started barking at that point, but it's at least encouraging that even when he didn't have his best stuff, his control was still elite. Despite missing the final two months of the year, Winder got up to 72 innings, so he could push past 100 innings with good health. He is on the 40-man roster, and the Twins' rotation is wide open, so he is a quality sleeper heading into spring training.
