The Book on Jair Jurrjens
Prospect Info
Jair Jurrjens
Born 1/29/1986
RHP, ATL
One of two intriguing prospects moved from Detroit to Atlanta in exchange for Edgar Renteria, Jurrjens is a power pitcher, a strikeout machine who has not yet quite put it together in terms of control and gamesmanship. He has stuff, but no coach has yet harnessed it effectively.
Jurrjens had a 3.20 ERA in 19 starts in Double-A and a 4.70 ERA in seven starts for the MLB Tigers in 2007. He projects as a number two or number three starter. He may also be effective as a reliever, once the Braves spend some time figuring out his mechanics.
