“Brice Turang is old enough to remember being overrated.

He didn’t buy it. Now that he is being discovered as some sort of hidden gem, by a world that doesn’t stop by Milwaukee very often, he isn’t likely to be swayed.

There’s a theory, often advanced by those who coach hockey defensemen, that if you can stay right where you are long enough, everything that’s wrong will fall back into place, thanks to the earth’s rotation, and you’ll get the acclaim and the satisfaction you deserve, as well as the puck. In eight years, Turang has gone from old hat to Gold Glove, and even though he’s bigger and stronger, his essence hasn’t changed a bit. There is no team in baseball that wouldn’t trade its second baseman for him.”
