The Rangers are operating under the assumption that the date to put RHP Derrick Turnbow on the active roster or allow him to explore free agency is today. Turnbow believes it is Thursday. Weird. Trying to get clarification on what’s what.
Turnbow said he’d be willing to go to the minors for a couple of weeks or perhaps a month to continue working on a tweak to his violent pitching motion, but only if there isn’t a major league deal out there for him.
Turnbow’s out date was the last time he pitched, he’s out of time.
Violent is an understament. Everytime he pitched I thought he was trying to throw his arm over the plate. He really doesn’t have a choice because there is no major league contract out there for him. At least not with that pitcing motion.
