Really excited for the Turner acquisition. I would've been happy getting him straight up for Souza.
Even before you break down the speed and premium position he plays, hes got a tremendous ability to get on base. All three years in college, his OBP was almost 100 points highee than his batting average. His lowest was .87 higher. His first year in pro ball, he had a .78 difference. He's got excellent discipline at the plate and it's pretty clear it's carrying over to the pro level.
A SS that can leadoff, get on base at a high clip, and steal a lot of bases is a special player to add.
He was a productive three year starter for a major college team. He's a bright kid that doesn't seem to get shook easily. He made an immediate impact in college, had an excellent first season of pro ball, and even in spot AB's in the AFL, he produced.
I'm not sure how the season will start for him, but he should spend a lot of time at the AA level. Hell probably get a full AFL to add more exorience before the 2016 season. He's the type of kid that could move real quick, which is a big plus with the Desmond situation.
