This article references David Wright, Jung Ho Kang, Justin Turner and more! After a few mediocre seasons with the Mets, Justin Turner turned it all around and found success in Los Angeles where he batted .340 in 2014 and .294 in 2015. While the major dip in average may be alarming, it came with a significant increase in power as Turner blasted 16 HR in 2015, more than doubling his total (seven) from 2014. He also hit over 20 doubles in each of the last two seasons. Fantasy baseball owners are now left wondering which Justin Turner will show up to spring training i[...]Keep on reading: Justin Turner Should Remain A Consistent Option in 2016

The Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman was playing through a nagging knee injury throughout the ALDS. Turner had a .526 BA with 6 2B, 4 RBI, 10 hits over 19 at-bats in five games played. The 32-year-old was arguably the best player on the field and almost carried the Dodgers to the ALCS.

This article references 1B, 2B, 3B, A, Adam LaRoche, C, Jose Abreu, Justin Turner, Matt Harvey, Nene, OF, RB, SP, SS, TE, WR and more! This week, most columns like this one are focusing on those that made the All-Star team - after all, fantasy leagues are going through a quiet week because of it. I'm going to zig when the others zag because my team lost and instead cover players that were not involved in the game. Two were All-Stars in most everyone's opinion heading into the season, but it is easy to see how they didn't make it. The third is an utility infielder that has an All-Star worthy line. We'll start with him. Edit[...]Keep on reading: Champ or Chump: Justin Turner, Jose Abreu, and The Dark Knight

As promised, I am going to fill you all in on the recent news involving recovering starting pitchers, Dylan Bundy and Jameson Taillon. Bundy will be shut down indefinitely, which does not necessarily rule him out for a possible call-up this year, but it certainly pushes the time table back. Jameson Taillon on the other hand is going to undergo hernia durgery and will miss two months. That likely does essentially eliminate any chance of a 2015 promotion for the Pirates prospect.
