Turnbow to the Pirates?

[fondybrewfan]

Per Rotoworld, the Pirates are in discussions with Derrick Turnbow.

 

I guess Pittsburgh would be a pretty ideal situation for Derrick to try to restart his career, little to no expectations and, if he turns it around, a pretty good shot of cracking the bullpen sometime in 2009.

 

I hope he turns it around, I was hoping that he would find a team in the AL just in case he does figure it out again.

Good luck to him.

I'd have to imagine it is a minor league deal - with spring training invite?

Good riddance! Take that contract with you.

Isn't Tbow out for the first half of '09 after major surgery?

Well his potential is so high, the Pirates are willing to wait on his arm.

I dont care what anyone says, Turnbow is still one of my favorite brewers. I will always blame the bandwagon fans of 2006 for ruining him when in 2007 he was one of the best set up men in baseball. Yes he had his struggles but he didnt derserve what he got from the fans. Anyways, I hope he makes the pirates bullpen and then strikes out the side in milwaukee just to stick it to the fair weather fans. After he does that, I wish him well, just not against us, lol.

I agree. Like I said when he officially left the Brewers, I hope people remember the Turnbow who was dominate and a big contributor to the team's success for a while, and not his scuffles.
