Mets infielder Justin Turner is going to see some work in the outfield this spring, reports ESPN Monday. The Mets need another right-handed hitting outfielder along with Collin Cowgill and Turner will compete with Marlon Byrd and Andrew Brown for the gig. “We talked about it at the end of the season last year,” Turner said about a conversation with Terry Collins. “He told he wanted me to get out there, get some reps. I don’t know if that means I’m going to be playing for a spot, or it’s just another couple of positions to maybe get some more at-bats.” Turner hasn't played outfield since rookie ball in 2006.
