aboz56 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'll say if you are relying on either of these guys for saves you are a longshot to win your fantasy league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I just dropped Adams for Turnbow within the past hour, and then this thread pops up. Ain't that some s***. I have Armando Benitez, Joe Nathan, Mike MacDougal, and Derrick Turnbow to supplement my starting crew of Pedro Martinez, Chris Carpenter, Brandon Webb, CC Sabathia, Gustavo Chacin, and Dan Haren. Should I go with 7 starters and 3 closers? I dunno. When Jeremy Affeldt gets off the DL and takes over for MacDougal, I'll probably pick up another starter. But for the time being, it's a nice luxury to have four closers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone's gonna bust out Kolb-style this year, and it'll probably be on a really weak team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, this was right on the money. But since April 24, Turnbow's stats: 4 Saves 3 Wins 2 hits allowed in 11 innings Unbelievable. You knew that a couple guys would emerge this year. Last year, you had Kolb, Cordero, etc. This year, Turnbow and Lyon are coming on strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Turnbow is their closer now. He blew it today on the HR to Ramirez (got the win anyways) but he's very young and throws 98 MPH with pretty good control, so he's the closer by default.

ChWRoCk2 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 turnbow reminds me like the kolb of the brewers last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Turnbow could be the next Mike Macdougal. Maybe he's going to be better than that but it's hard to draw conclusions about meteoric closers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My closers in a 12 team league. Krod Rivera Gagne(get Healthy) Hermy (4 saves hope he is permanent Turnbow Urbina (dont know if I should drop him) I tried out macdougal from kc, big mistake. I tried fassero from SF after benitez went down, and just missed brandon lyon off free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
