Boz in his chat today was pounding the table insisting Robles should be leadoff, Turner 2, and Soto 3 for the rest of the year. Says that at leadoff,.350 obp is above average, and Turner is too good of a power hitter to hit leadoff.
If Robles bats leadoff, Turner should hit behind Soto. Turner provides the best protection to Soto, and Turner's speed provides his own protection: you're not going to IBB him with anyone else behind him because he'll steal. You bat him ahead of Soto, he runs a lot less because him stealing means they put Soto on plus Soto gets jack crap to hit even when Turner's not on because some useless side of beef like Bell is behind him.
