Regarding Turnbull, I'd never heard of him until I ventured down to a Toledo game two summers ago when he happened to be pitching. He struck out ten of the first eleven batters, with pitching not heat, and I'm going, "Who is this guy" and why haven't I read anything about him? As for Boyd I never saw much in him beyond maybe being a decent .500 number 4 or 5 starter.
