The Florida Marlins have signed 32-year old righty reliever Derrick Turnbow to a minor league deal. He pitched in 8 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball last season and he was 0-1 with a 8.53 ERA and a 3.16 WHIP. He walked 9 batters and allowed 11 hits in only 6 1/3 innings in the minors last year. Turnbow has now pitched in 257 games (1 start) in his major league career and he is 17-16 with 65 saves, a 4.30 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. He has only allowed 206 hits in 257 2/3 innings in his major league career while whiffing 265 batters which shows what kind of stuff he does have. But, he has walked 168 batters which is way too many. It will be interesting to see if the Marlins can turn him around.
