Your conversation re: Turner to lead off would be hoping to get a different/better Turner is the only acceptable reasoning. If they go through with it, moving Schwarber lower than 3rd would be very strange-why would you take any PAs away from Turner/Harper/Schwarber and give them to anyone else?
Also regarding difference in times on base between Harper/Rojas (most extreme example), Paul forgot to subtract difference in HRs hit (Harper not on base if he homers). It’s 5-6 base runners /100 PAs. If they put Stott 9th, JT 8th there would be almost no difference between 1st and 3rd.
