BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 67% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: Despite not getting consistent playing time early on, Justin Turner has now secured a job as the everyday third baseman in Los Angeles. Not only that, but Turner has also put up numbers worthy of being an All Star. To this point he has a .323 BA, 10 HR, 35 RBI and even one stolen base.
He was always a good depth option because of his positional versatility, but now that he has earned more playing time he is a must own in fantasy leagues. Over his last seven games he has been on fire, going 7 for 19 with four HR, nine RBI and six runs scored. Even if he doesn't keep up this pace, the fact that he can be plugged in at all four infield slots gives him a ton of value.
There is one note of caution though as a promotion to prospect Hector Olivera could reduce Turner to a super utility role once again. However with Olivera on the shelf for a bit, that won't be a concern for owners for at least a few weeks. Especially given Turner's middle infield eligibility, he should be grabbed off all waiver wires where he's still available.
