Dodger Thoughts

Jon Weisman's outlet for dealing psychologically with the Los Angeles Dodgers, baseball and life

Dodgers add Justin Turner to mix

Justin TurnerBy Jon Weisman

The Dodgers just signed this guy over here in the top hat.

Justin Turner has inked a minor-league contract with the Dodgers that comes with an invite to Major League camp. The 29-year-old has played all four infield positions in his five-year MLB career, mostly at second and third, most recently producing a .319 on-base percentage and .385 slugging in 214 plate appearances last year with the Mets.

Turner joins a group including Dee Gordon, Justin Sellers, Miguel Rojas, Brendan Harris and Chone Figgins vying for time in support of the 2014 Dodger infield.

  1. From what I’ve read it seems Turner really wants to be a Dodger. Great to watch players who enjoy the name on the front of the uniform, rather than the mercenary types who are only in blue for the paycheck.

    Justin is a scrappy infielder which I’ve watched often playing with the Mets and he’s been successful against the Dodgers on occasion. I wish him luck trying to break into the Dodger infield with all this compitition for 2nd base.
