Player Notes
May 1, 2009
Derrick Turnbow has been released by the Rangers, according to the NewbergReport.com.

Our View:A clause in his contract allowed him to demand a release if he was not in the majors by May 1. He issued nine walks and 11 hits over 6.1 innings of work in Triple-A.
February 28, 2009
Derrick Turnbow pitched well for the Rangers on Saturday, picking up the win in one inning of work. He allowed just one hit and also fanned a batter.

Our View:Turnbow has a shot to be Texas' closer this year, but Frank Francisco comes in as the favorite for the job.
January 1, 2009
Updating an earlier report, the one-year deal with the Rangers that Derrick Turnbow signed is for $925,000 if he makes the team, with $325,000 in possible incentives, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Our View:Turnbow is a long shot to contribute much this season, but you can't teach heat, and he can still bring that when healthy.
January 1, 2009
MLB.com reports that he Rangers have reached a tentative agreement for a one-year deal with reliever Derrick Turnbow. It is said to be a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Our View:Turnbow battled shoulder injuries last season and appeared in just eight games. It's been some time since he has been effective, but he's worth keeping an eye on. The Rangers don't have much of a bullpen, so Turnbow could be relied on heavily - assuming that he makes the roster and can remain healthy. Both are far from certain.
December 31, 2008
The Rangers continue to be interested in Derrick Turnbow, according to MLB.com. Pitching coach Mike Maddux worked with Turnbow a couple of years ago in Milwaukee, so it would seem to be a good match for him. The Marlins and Pirates also remain interested in the righty.

Our View:It is unclear if Turnbow would become the Rangers' closer, but if he could rekindle some of the 2005 magic in which he recorded 39 saves, he wouldn't be a bad bet for the spot.
