Q&A with Jair Jurrjens: Braves pitcher at '80 percent'
Jair Jurrjens appeared to be heading to his best season as a major leaguer in 2011. He was 12-3 with a NL-best 1.87 ERA and pitched 1-23 scoreless innings in the All-Star Game, but then his season fell apart.
His surgically repaired right knee began bothering him and he won only one more game before the Braves shut him down for the final month.
Jurrjens finished with a 13-6 record...

Could Jurrjens Come Back To Detroit?
When the Detroit Tigers traded pitcher Jair Jurrjens and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez to the Atlanta Braves for shortstop Edgar Renteria it soon became one of the more regrettable Tigers trades in recent memory.
Although Hernandez really never panned out, Jurrjens certainly went on to become a nice addition for the Braves while Renteria continued to age and prove why he wasn’t...

5 Reasons Why The Atlanta Braves Should Trade Jair Jurrjens
Source: Josh D. Weiss-US PRESSWIRE
Jair Jurrjens is one of the most coveted right handers in baseball this off season, and supposedly the Atlanta Braves aren't that willing to trade him unless they get a huge package for him.
Jurrjens had a huge year last year. I take that back. Jurrjens had a huge first half of the year last year. For as good as he was in the...

Trade Rumors: Yankees Among Teams Interested in Jurrjens

Did the Braves Wait Too Long to Trade Jair Jurrjens?
At midseason, Jair Jurrjens had a 1.87 ERA and a 12-3. He was incorrectly called a Cy Young candidate by many fans, by virtue of that low ERA. But at the end of the day, he was just a guy with a 5.29 strikeout rate. Some fans wondered if he should have been dealt at midseason for one of the many teams craving starting pitching. The Braves of course, were loaded at the time, with...

Jurrjens Isn’t Worth A Top Prospect
With the Atlanta Braves shopping Jair Jurrjens, the question that everyone should want answered is whether or not Jurrjens is a lemon. Is the drop in his velocity attributable to injury, or is he simply losing velocity the natural way. The only way we will know for sure is if someone states so publicly, and unless Jurrjens is about to go under the knife, it’s doubtful that...
