Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner is batting sixth in the lineup for the team's first game against the Reds on Friday. Ryan Zimmerman, who was held out of Cactus League action for all but one game, is batting cleanup. In a move that would have seemed unthinkable during the Dusty Baker era, Anthony Rendon is batting second. [...]

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (foot) had his ingrown toenail removed and will back in action Wednesday. The procedure is the latest foot malady for the Nationals after Bryce Harper's ingrown nail and Matt Adams's foot blister a few weeks back. This is merely a blip for Turner, who looks to deliver a standout five-category season. He's as hot as they come right now, going in the first rounds of most drafts and looking like a likely stud for years to come.

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (toenail) is out of action Monday due to an ingrown toenail. He's expected to return Tuesday. Teammate Bryce Harper also suffered an ingrown toenail a few weeks ago, so the Nationals should think about putting a pedicurist on the payroll. Turner is a first-round talent, given his position, and will give you five-category contributions. He'll bat second this season for a loaded lineup and could even lead the league in runs if he stays healthy.

There are many ways to make a roster that is worthy of fantasy baseball glory. Some owners like to load up on pitching, others load up on hitting, and some look for more of a balanced approach. While this a noble way to build a roster, looking to build a team that will dominate one statistical grouping, what is even better is to build a roster that is full of players that can contribute in multiple categories. So now we come to stolen bases--one of the more difficult numbers to track. There w[...]Keep on reading: Is Punting Steals a Good Idea?
