How many DP would he turn compared to average? There's just no way to know. We're in angels on pinheads territory here.
Right - which is why I said I think the range should extend greater than the empirical data, because a guy who can't turn a double play (e.g. a guy rated 30) would probably never earn a start as a second baseman.
