At the bottom of individual hitting statistics this season for the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs is a player that opened the year as a possible MVP candidate. Trea Turner has .000 in the far right column, matching Mario Lisson — who is 0-for-1 — as a hitless member of the Chiefs this season.
Key for Turner are the nine rust-shaking at-bats he has had so far. Turner had not played since a wrist fracture June 30. He went through a boring process of running, swinging with his one healthy arm, running some more and waiting for the wrist to heal.
