Look at the bat control and ISO.
The guy has plus contract rates and very strong power skills. So he handles the zone well, likes to swing the bat and hits the ball with authority. Even as a part-time player in '14 and '15, Turner was showing the same hitting profile he showed as a regular in '16.
The issue with Turner is simple age. If you have to give him 5 years, you're buying 32-36 and that's not a great time to have a guy. Ideally they can get him over 4 (because 3 ain't happening). But he probably gives you 2 really good seasons, a 3rd strong season and then 2 where you wish he was someone else's problem (the Peralta curve).
