I reassert my initial point, not much since Happy Days.
As for Dan Winkler, he'll go into spring training with a chance to prove he's recovered from his broken arm. He'll be in a crowded group fighting for a few pen spots. But, IIRC, he'd have to be returned to the Rockies if he doesn't make the big league club so that's something going for him.

Since we officially carried him on the roster last year, haven't we fulfilled the Rule 5 obligation already? Also, I think it's that we have to offer to return him for some nominal price. It's not automatic.
I don't think he was on the active roster long enough...but I could be wrong

That's my understanding. He needs to spend a certain number of days on the active roster. And hasn't reached that point yet.

"Rule 5 Draft draftees must stay on the MLB roster all season. If they go to the DL, they must be active for at least 90 days — so if the draftee misses a whole season, they must be on the active roster for 90 days the following season to satisfy the Rule 5 Draft requirements."
