Justin Turner a Mariner

Don’t see any downside honestly. He is now the 3rd best hitter on the team. They don’t need power, they need contact plus veteran leadership that they desperately need. A dude 3 years into his career can’t be the lone vocal leader.

Playing first and hitting fourth today. Facing Paxton, who is walking everyone this year.

There it is. Instant dividends. Opposite field RBI single in his first AB.

And that’s all they need. Still wish Locklear was still on the club to learn from Turner on how to become a professional hitter. Turner shouldn’t be playing 1B more than 3 days a week IMO.

How else are they going to continue to fit Garver into the lineup though?

He has earned himself the Zeby Zavala treatment. Backup catcher who plays once a week against a lefty

I wish that's what his role was on this team

Yeah I don’t know. Maybe Jerry was right all of this time about not wanting a full time DH. They could always just only play Garver on Woo starts and just DH for Garver since Woo won’t go past 5 innings most likely

Its awareness...as much as ability..
With turner .254 will do...for dh.
And garver..
And haniger ..it will.do..

I guess we do need a singles machine
