Justin Turner

An underrated stud when healthy, Turner has touted a higher wRC+ (141) than Paul Goldschmidt, Giancarlo Stanton, Nolan Arenado, and Manny Machado in the past three seasons. He has hit .300/.383/.512 over that time frame, but the games played (150, 130, 103) keeps trending downward. A mere return to 130 would make him a steal beyond the top-100 picks, especially in a shallower league where investors have an easier time filling in the injury gaps on the waiver wire.

Fantasy Impact

Turner had another injury shortened season last year for the Dodgers with a broken left wrist on a HBP last spring and a groin strain in July. He slashed .312/.406/.518 in 365 at bats with 14 homers, and continued to show elite level plate discipline. Turner has averaged 410 at bats per year over his last five years so draft accordingly, but his numbers show no sign of deteriorating this year if he can avoid a long DL stint.
