Scouting Report

Flaws Doesn't stand out in any one particular area. Needs a little work on his base-running as a potential top-of-the-order type.
Career Potential Reserve infielder.

April 12, 2010 - The Baltimore Orioles have moved second baseman to the DL and have recalled Justin Turner to take his place on the 25 man roster, reports the Baltimore Sun. Turner was acquired by the Orioles as a part of the Ramon Hernandez trade before the 2009 season. Last year at Triple-A Norfolk, the 24-year-old Turner hit .300/.362/.388 and has never hit more than 10 home runs during any minor league season. He saw time at short stop and third base in addition to his primary second base position, and could serve as the Orioles backup infielder/utility man now that Roberts' injury has forced Julio Lugo into everyday duties.
