Player Notes

December 6, 2007
The Brewers don't anticipate acquiring an established closer before spring training, which mean they're likely to head into the season with Derrick Turnbow as their ninth-inning man. "Derrick probably has a head-start on it because he has done it before and has been an all-star closer," manager Ned Yost told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Turnbow has had success in the closer role in the past, but he's also been prone to wildness and big innings.

Derrick Turnbow has made a nifty transition to a setup role this year, with a 2.31 ERA through 11 2/3 innings, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. He's struck out 20 against just five walks, and one of the three runs he's allowed came because Kevin Mench slipped on the wet turf in Chicago.

Derrick Turnbow threw another scoreless inning against the Cubs on Monday, allowing no hits and one walk. He has yet to allow a run in seven spring innings, and he has walked only two. Turnbow is coming off a horrendous 2006 campaign in which he held a 6.2 BB/9 rate. The Red Sox, who are in desperate need of a closer, have been scouting Turnbow as of late.

The Red Sox and other teams have been scouting the Brewers' Derrick Turnbow, according to the Boston Globe. The Sox are still looking for a closer, and Turnbow could fit that bill.
