I would assign him to Harrisburg for 2015 and Syracuse for all of 2016. I don't think you should let team needs dictate prospect timelines. Turner is doing great, but he's not a perfect prospect. He was in college 12 months ago and could probably use a good deal of physical maturation to truly be ready.  Even Rendon only OPSed .725 his first season as one of the best college hitters in recent memory, and that's the timeline we'd be talking about for Turner. What could be reasonably expect from Turner in 2016, a low .600s OPS?

I mean as far as I can tell, the kid can't even drive yet  :)

That's cool. Werth, Turner, and our other 12 year old can all bum rides of someone
