	The Milwaukee Brewers designated Derrick Turnbow for assignment today. He has been struggling this year. He is 0-1 with a 15.63 ERA this year, but may be a change of scenery is what he needs to get back on track. I know that John Smoltz is headed for the bull pen when he gets back from the DL, but we still don't know exactly what he'll be able to give. Turnbow is a proven closer and I think he can come into Atlanta and give the Braves just what they need to fill-in for Peter Moylan. Blaine Boyer and Manny Acosta are not pitching that well and the only arm in the bullpen that I can honestly trust is Will Ohman. I hope the Braves give him a look. It probably wouldn't cost to much to get him in a trade. What do you all think?

	Dan Kolb didn't have half of the stuff that Derrick Turnbow has. As I remember, Turnbow took Kolb's job as Brewers closer. dan Kold was a pitcher who had to rely on his ground ball outs and if he didn't get them, he blew saves. I would take Turnbow over Blaine Boyer, Manny Acosta, Chris Resop, and Jorge Campillo. Braves should take a look, that's all I am saying.

	I disagree Spud. Remember, the Braves still have Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez coming off the DL in the next couple of weeks. It's only early May and it is too early to be making questionable short-term trades for this season. When the All-Star Game comes around, we can revisit this issue then, but for right now I say wait it out and let's see how the current guys and the two guys coming off the DL do.

	im going to have to agree with you JE. I believe once Soriano and Gonzalez come back and then us having Smoltz closing would be just about better than any other 3 in the league.

	Hes a good setup man now doubt, esp. in games that go late. Why not if we can get him at a price!

	I really never liked Turnbow, I never thought he had good stuff; and his fastball looks like it's lost a few mph.

I just had a good laugh though when you said his fastball looks like it lost a little bit. If I remember right, he used to throw a flamethrower in the 99 MPH range... Go Braves!
