I was surprised to not see Turang noted as a defensive standout in this write-up (the only mention he gets is as part of a “promising young trio” of outfielders—oops, Fangraphs).  His case would seem to fit the article’s narrative perfectly: the Brewers have gone all-in on run prevention to the point of sacrificing hitting ability in the process.  Turang is the poster-boy for this strategy thus far.

Turang's actual defensive value is debatable. DRS likes him but both UZR and Statcast see him at just above average at 2B.

Best part of the article was it saying Santana had not had much impact, and then he hit 2 HRs last night..

Based on how much run the Brewers have given Turang this year, I am guessing whatever internal metrics they have align more closely with DRS.
