I blame Jonathan Villar, Dusty, Francisco Lindor and Rougned Odor, in no particular order. Those players and Dusty are the reason why I owned Trea Turner and dropped him. I mean, no one would be crazy enough to put Turner in at Utility when he was first called up. Wasn't gonna play him at outfield. He's a middle infielder, and I had no room. *puts thumbtacks on desk, takes particular care to make sure the sharp ends are facing up, slams head onto desk* If I owned him, Turner would solve so many of my problems. He'd even fix my irregular bowels! This weekend Turner had three homers (11), three steals (27) and is hitting .355 in only 60 games. Trea magnifique! I haven't seen this kind of emergence since...Damn, I don't know how long. Maybe last year with Carlos Correa? Ouch, that comparison means Turner could disappoint in 2017? Don't hate the player, hate the knowledge that the player possesses that makes him say things that are unlikable, which I guess could be lumped in with 'hating the player,' making it okay to hate the player. About a month ago, I thought Turner was going to be drafted around top 100 in 2017, but that was prior to the power showing up. With each homer, he's moved up about a round, and now he's breathing down the 2nd round for 2017. Depends if you think you ain't seen nothing yet with Baseman Turner Overdrive. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
