Rangers - Signed Turnbow

Texas Rangers - Signed P Oil Can Turnbow to a minor-league contract.

Going onto 4 years since the last time Turnbow was effective, he should be happy that he’s still getting calls.  Turnbow has 3 solid pitches, none of which he has any idea what to do with or any inkling as to where they’re heading.  And a tear in his rotator cuff for which he’s chosen the Todd Stottlemyre “Ignore it and it’ll magically go away” surgical technique, a technique developed over the years by winos with a yellowish tint to their skin.  Absent a miracle, I think I’d rather have hepatitis than Turnbow.
