Does WAR account his worst in the majors defense? I heard Phil Wood say he sucks in the field.

Phil Wood is an idiot gasbag, and in this case he's also incorrect.  Turner's defense at 2B has been above league-average according to the metrics (and perfectly fine by the eye test as well).  His CF defense has been slightly below average per the metrics, which is hardly surprising as he's barely played there before.  Overall, it nets out above average because he's played twice at much at second. But again, Phil Wood is an idiot gasbag of near-Carpenterian proportions, and his hair should be a criminal offense.
