MLB.com's Todd Zolecki writes that the Philadelphia Phillies think they can improve their chances of winning the World Series by making shortstop Trea Turner their leadoff hitter, although manager Rob Thomson won't make a final decision on the batting order until the end of spring training. "As long as he's got the mindset of getting on base – and I think he does – being in the leadoff spot could help that a little bit," Thomson said. Turner has hit second 234 times in his two seasons in Philly, compared to just 38 times as the leadoff man. However, the 31-year-old could move to leadoff in 2025, dropping Kyle Schwarber to cleanup. It could make Turner more selective, which would be a good thing, as he has chased more pitches (34.7%) with the Phils than he did in his first eight seasons (27.4%). A move to leadoff should boost Turner's steals and runs scored for fantasy managers.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
