January 1, 200917 yr http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/rumors/post/Ra...?urn=mlb,131823 The Texas angers, on New Years Eve, signed pitcher Derrick Turnbow to a Minor League contract, according to MLB.Com. Turnbow was also targeted by the Florida Marlins and Pittsbrugh Pirates, but chose Texas in the end because of his relationship with pitching coach Mike Maddux. Turnbow, 31, will make $925,000 if he makes the major league club out of spring training. The contract also carries $325,000 in pefrormance incentives. The right-hander last pitched effectively in 2007, when he posted a 4.63 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 68 innings.
January 1, 200917 yr Author I posted this here because the other thread was a bit long and it didn't really focus on the fact that Turnbow is now a Ranger. I thought it should merit it's own thread. :blush

January 2, 200917 yr I don't get it, but hey, good luck to him. Turnbow had a much better chance of getting his career back on track in a Marlin's uniform. Iam sure no one is giving this a second thought in the Marlin's FO
