Turner hasn't been a good shortstop in half a decade. Sosa is elite. Phillies pitchers deserve the best defense they can get. Robin Yount, Chipper Jones, and Mookie Betts all made the move.
Turner hasn't been a good shortstop in half a decade. Sosa is elite. Phillies pitchers deserve the best defense they can get. Robin Yount, Chipper Jones, and Mookie Betts all made the move.
When Turner returns to the Phillies’ lineup, he should not be at shortstop. He should be in left field. Turner has mainly played shortstop his whole life, so being on the left side of the outfield would be an easier adjustment than putting him in right field, or center. Maybe it’s unfair to assume that Turner has the athletic ability of these three Hall of Famers . But if your argument is that he’s not a good enough athlete to play left field, understand that you always put your best athlete at shortstop ... which is all the more reason to keep Turner off the 6.
