When will it be "Trea Turner Time" in the Washington Nationals' infield?

Washington Nationals' infielder Trea Turner is the top-ranked position prospect in the organization going into to 2016, so when will he become the Nats' full-time shortstop. Will he end up at second in the majors? Decision time is coming soon.

Though they had to wait until June, a year after he was drafted and signed by the San Diego Padres, because of a rule regarding the trading of the previous year's draft picks which has since been changed, the Washington Nationals were excited to finally acquire the 22-year-old, 2014 1st Round pick Trea Turner as the Player to be Named Later (along with righty Joe Ross) in last winter's three-team deal which included the Tampa Bay Rays.
