Agree that Turner was more surprising, but ultimately, he wasn't going to be in his prime to help us win next time we'd be ready either. Turner's best tool is speed and that's usually the one that goes the fastest.
what I kind of love about Turner is how he became more than just a fast guy. He has legit power for an up the middle player and his OBP is not dependent on bunts or slapping the ball on the ground through the infield (if that works anymore). He's 7th in fWAR for the past 5 seasons, ahead of Soto for the same period. Knock out his baserunning and he's still top 15.
