Fantasy Impact:
Turner has gradually emerged as an every-day player for the Dodgers over the past three years, and they rewarded him this offseason with a four-year, $64 million contract. Assuming no troubling news surfaces about his knee, fantasy owners should be able to pencil him in for around 600 plate appearances with a high batting average and decent power numbers. Turner is currently the 13th third baseman off the board in fantasy drafts according to the ADP consensus at FantasyPros.
