Jesse Winker has had a strong OPS+ over four years, but the Mets acquired him during a slump, hoping to utilize his lefty bat while Starling Marte is injured.
Despite a solid .306 AVG, Winker is underperforming with the Mets, evidenced by low peripheral metrics like a 2.7 BB% and a .056 ISO, indicating the reliance on a high BABIP.
The Mets need to decide how to allocate playing time between Winker and Marte, raising questions about their commitment to a platoon approach in right field.
Starling Marte's history in the team shows a penchant for giving him consistent playing time even with below-average performances, leading to speculation about his role upon his return.
