But its not really a given that Turner is going to be a plus hitter this season, is it? Is it just a speed thing? Because I think Eaton and Rendon at the top (both fine baserunners) is more than enough speed.
I guess I shouldn't be such a reactionary about Turner's slow start. But frankly, you have a lot of guys who look really good at the plate right now, and Rendon isn't even hitting yet. I guess it's a good problem to have.
8 spot seems like a bad place for a young hitter to learn
