Newsbreakers
October 3, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was stellar on Saturday, but the Braves bullpen faltered and he was denied his 15th win. The right-hander allowed just two runs on five hits and three walks over eight innings and fanned nine in a 6-4 loss to the Nationals.
Our View:
Jurrjens finishes the 2009 season with the third best ERA (2.60) in the National League and became the anchor of an up and coming Braves rotation. His 14 wins were a career high.
September 28, 2009
Jair Jurrjens only issued five hits over seven scoreless innings in Monday's 4-0 win over the Marlins at Turner Field. He had one walk and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens earned his 14th win, topping his total of 13 from 2008. He is 4-0 over his last four starts, and trimmed his ERA to 2.61.
September 22, 2009
Jair Jurrjens dazzled against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing just one run on five hits and three walks over seven innings in the 3-1 win.
Our View:
Jurrjens has been unbelievable this season and has posted eight consecutive quality starts. He's allowed just two runs over his last 22 innings.
September 17, 2009
Jair Jurrjens made quick work of the Mets on Thursday, allowing just one earned run in seven innings. He improved to 12-10 on the season, as the Braves won 7-3 at home.
Our View:
Jurrjens' ERA is now a sparkling 2.75 through 193 innings in 2009, good for fifth best in the National League.
September 11, 2009
Jair Jurrjens only issued six hits over eight scoreless innings in Friday's 1-0 win at St. Louis. He had two walks and seven strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens pitched great tonight, but it was too bad the Braves did not let him try for a complete game shutout. He now has a winning record at 11-10, and trimmed his ERA to 2.81.
September 5, 2009
Jair Jurrjens gave up three earned runs on four hits over seven innings in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Reds at Turner Field. He had three walks with four strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens was handed a loss, and now has an even record at 10-10. He only has one win over his last five starts, but allowed two or less earned runs four times over that span.
August 30, 2009
Jair Jurrjens deserved better than to be handed his ninth loss of the season on Sunday. He held the Phillies to three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks over seven innings, but the Braves fell 3-2.
Our View:
Jurrjens doesn't get a lot of offensive support and it seems odd that he holds a 10-9 record with a sparkling 2.89 ERA. He's only earned one win in August despite pitching well.
August 25, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was good on Tuesday, but he did not factor into the decision as the Braves fell to the Padres 2-1 in 12 innings. Jurrjens went 7.2 innings and allowed one run on five hits while walking four and striking out seven.
Our View:
Jurrjens is just another piece of what has become an excellent pitching staff in Atlanta. His ERA was lowered again tonight, and it is now down to 2.91 on the year. He has double-digit wins, and has become one of the more reliable fantasy starters available.
August 19, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was solid on Wednesday in the Braves' 15-2 blowout of the Mets. Jurrjens went six innings and allowed two runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out four.
Our View:
Jurrjens was good tonight, but he didn't really have to be since his offense spotted him 15 runs. Jurrjens has 10 wins on the season, and his ERA is now under 3.00 at 2.99. He is a solid play, especially with the Braves getting hot.
August 14, 2009
Jair Jurrjens limited the Phillies' powerful offense to just two runs in seven innings on Friday night, but took a no-decision, as Philadelphia picked up a run in the ninth to win 3-2.
Our View:
Jurrjens had allowed nine combined runs in his past two starts, but got his ERA back below 3.00 on Friday night, and looks to be back on track.
August 2, 2009
Jair Jurrjens has had better outings. He was touched for four runs on ten hits and a pair of walks over just five innings on Sunday. He took the loss as the Braves fell 9-1.
Our View:
Jurrjens did have five Ks, but aside from that the start was a bummer. He's been nothing short of brilliant all season though, so a he's allowed a dud every once in a while. Continue to start him every five days.
July 28, 2009
Jair Jurrjens did not factor into the decision on Tuesday as the Braves fell to the Marlins 4-3. Jurrjens went six innings and allowed two runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out five.
Our View:
Jurrjens matched Ricky Nolasco almost pitch for pitch tonight, and when the two pitchers left the game it was tied at two. Jurrjens has put together some nice starts as of late, and he remains a reliable fantasy starter in all formats.
July 22, 2009
Jair Jurrjens outdueled Tim Lincecum on Wednesday, striking out nine Giants in 7.1 innings of a 4-2 Braves victory.
Our View:
He also only allowed one walk, and saw his WHIP dip to 1.20 and ERA to 2.67. His solid sophomore campaign continues.
July 17, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was solid again on Friday as the Braves pounded the Mets 11-0. Jurrjens went six scoreless innings and allowed two hits while walking two and striking out one. He is now 8-7 on the year.
Our View:
Jurrjens has been solid as of late, and it is starting to look like he is a good option once again. He should be owned in all leagues at this point unless you are in a very shallow mixed league.
July 11, 2009
Jair Jurrjens only allowed two earned runs on five hits over six innings in Saturday's 4-3 win at Colorado. He had three walks and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens earned a win for his solid effort, and evened his record to 7-7. He has two wins over three starts so far this month, after going 0-4 over five outings in June.
July 6, 2009
Jair Jurrjens wasn't awful but did little to excite his fantasy owners on Monday, allowing four runs off seven hits and three walks while striking out just one against the Cubs. He fell to 6-7 on the season.
Our View:
Jurrjens' ERA is still below three, though you can't expect that figure to hold up for much longer. He still should be a fine option at pitcher, just not quite as fine as he had been over the first two months this season.
July 1, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was masterful on Wednesday night, surrendering just one run, and one hit, in seven innings while striking out six in the Braves 11-1 pummeling of Philadelphia.
Our View:
Jurrjens continues to show no sign off a drop-off after his fast start to 2009, and now has a sparkling 2.73 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 102.1 innings pitched. You could still maybe sell high on him, but it doesn't appear likely he will suffer any significant regression in '09.
June 26, 2009
Jair Jurrjens gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits over eight innings in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Red Sox at Turner Field. He had three walks and six strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens now has a losing record at 5-6, despite a solid 2.93 ERA. He has taken a loss in four of his last five starts, and hasn't collected a win since May 29 at Arizona.
June 21, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was knocked around on Sunday, but his ERA didn't suffer all that badly due to some costly errors. He allowed five runs (just two earned) on eight hits and a walk over 6.1 innings and did not factor in the decision.
Our View:
Jurrjens struck out six in the game and recorded just his second quality start since May 24th. Still, the crafty Braves' hurler has been very good this season with a 2.89 ERA and just four home runs allowed in 81 innings.
June 16, 2009
Jair Jurrjens took the loss on Tuesday, but pitched only two innings because of a two hour rain delay.
Our View:
Jurrjens has blossomed into a star in 2009, and is a solid option in every format.
June 10, 2009
Jair Jurrjens suffered another hard-luck loss on Wednesday as the Braves fell to the Pirates 3-2. He struck out seven in six innings, while allowing four hits, three walks, and two runs scored.
Our View:
Jurrjens does not strike out many batters and he walks more than many starters, but he is usually good for a quality start and opponents are hitting only .243 off him in 79 innings.
June 5, 2009
Jair Jurrjens struggled in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Brewers at Turner Field, as he gave up four earned runs on nine hits over seven innings. He had three walks with eight strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens falls to 5-3, and allowed nine earned runs over his last two starts. He was previously pitching very well this season, and should bounce back fine - meaning he should remain active in fantasy lineups.
May 24, 2009
Jair Jurrjens surrendered just two runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings on Sunday. The Braves blasted the Blue Jays 10-2, but Jurrjens didn't factor in the decision.
Our View:
Jurrjens' ERA now stands at a minuscule 2.07 on the season. The crafty righty is 4-2, and while he doesn't strike out many hitters (35 in 61 innings), he is still a solid fantasy option.
May 19, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was solid once again on Tuesday. He allowed just one run on three hits and three walks over seven innings as the Braves crushed the Rockies 8-1. Jurrjens fanned eight and improved to 4-2 on the season.
Our View:
Jurrjens now has a sparkling 1.96 ERA and -with all apologies to Derek Lowe- is looking like the ace of the Braves staff. Today's performance was especially juicy for fantasy owners with the eight Ks. His low K/9 is the only "flaw" in his game so far.
May 12, 2009
Jair Jurrjens had a rock-solid start on Tuesday, but was denied the victory when closer Mike Gonzalez blew it in the ninth. He scattered seven hits and a walk, giving up just two runs over 7.2 innings.
Our View:
Jurrjens has been lights out all season and Tuesday's performance left his ERA at a minuscule 2.06. Five of his eight games have produced quality starts and he has yet to give up more than three earned runs in an outing this season.
May 7, 2009
Jair Jurrjens allowed two earned runs on three hits over seven innings of work in Thursday's 4-2 win at Florida. He issued two walks with four strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens snapped a four-game skid without earning a win, and improves to 3-2 for the season.
April 27, 2009
Jair Jurrjens surrendered just two runs in six innings of work, but took the loss to the Cardinals on Monday. He gave up six hits and two walks, while striking out two hitters.
Our View:
After picking wins in his first two starts, Jurrjens has received only three runs of support in his last three outings. His ERA stands at an impressive 1.72, but his record is only 2-2. We expect the wins to come.
April 22, 2009
Jair Jurrjens threw 7.2 shutout innings as the Braves defeated the Nationals 1-0 on Wednesday. He scattered six hits and two walks, while striking out four. However, he got stuck with a no decision as the Braves did not score their run until the top of the ninth.
Our View:
While Jurrjens is not a strikeout pitcher, he is a very smart and effective hurler. He has dominated the Nationals in three career starts against them, yet he has never been credited with a win against them.
April 17, 2009
Jair Jurrjens took a tough-luck loss on Friday night. He held the Pirates to four hits and one run over 6.2 innings, but the Braves offense failed to score. Jurrjens walked two and struck out seven. His ERA slid to 2.04 on the young season.
Our View:
Jurrjens was lucky to get a win when he had a shaky outing against the Nationals on Sunday, so we supposed this evens his karma. He had some control problems in earlier outings, but he was obviously sharp tonight.
April 12, 2009
Jair Jurrjens was not as his best but still managed to earn the win in the Braves 8-5 victory over the Nationals on Sunday. He gave up five hits and five walks against just one strike out while allowing three earned runs in 5.1 innings of work.
Our View:
Jurrjens normally exhibits better control than he has through his first two starts in 2009. He has walked eight batters in 11 innings, but we expect that number to normalize and drop over the course of the season.
April 7, 2009
Jair Jurrjens recorded his first win of the season Tuesday against the Phillies. He blanked Philadelphia over five and two-third innings and allowed just four hits.
Our View:
Jurrjens did throw 96 pitches and was not extended like fantasy owners would prefer, but considering it's his first start of the season, manager Bobby Cox probably made the right call by giving him the hook.
April 2, 2009
Jair Jurrjens allowed one run (not earned) on five hits over four innings in Thursday's 2-1 win over Houston, with no walks and one strikeout.
Our View:
Jurrjens will be the No. 2 starter in the Braves' rotation behind Derek Lowe, and should build upon a good 2008 campaign in which he won 13 games while maintaining a 1.37 WHIP over 188.1 innings.
March 30, 2009
Jair Jurrjens will start the Braves' second game of the regular season behind No. 1 starter Derek Lowe, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Our View:
This is surprising, as Javier Vazquez was expected to follow Lowe. Jurrjens won 13 games over 31 starts last season, and could serve as a nice starting pitcher for fantasy leagues in 2009.
March 28, 2009
Jair Jurrjens and the Braves fell to the Yankees, 6-4 on Saturday, as Jurrjens went 5.0 innings, allowing nine hits and three earned runs.
Our View:
Jurrjens has been solid this spring, with a 3.20 ERA. He's not an upper-echelon starter for fantasy owners, but he can be useful in the middle or back of rotations.
March 22, 2009
Jair Jurrjens gave up four hits, two walks, and an earned run in 4.2 innings of work against the Mets on Sunday. He also struck out three hitters in the game.
Our View:
Jurrjens has allowed six runs over 20.1 innings this spring. While he has not been dominant, he knows how to induce timely ground balls and strands a lot of runners. His WHIP will never be overly impressive, but his ERA should always remain pretty solid.
March 17, 2009
Jair Jurrjens fired four scoreless innings, with four hits allowed, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets, with no walks and six strikeouts.
Our View:
This was a strong performance, namely as he did not allow any walks, which was a weakness last season. His fantasy stock is on the rise.
March 12, 2009
Jair Jurrjens allowed two runs on three hits and a pair of walks in his four innings of work on Thursday. He failed to strike anyone out and his spring ERA now stands at an unimpressive 4.66.
Our View:
Jurrjens had impressive numbers last season even though he faded down the stretch. Regardless of what he's done this spring, his numbers should improve with more experience in the league and additional knowledge of hitters. He needs to cut down on his walks a bit though before becoming truly dominant.
March 7, 2009
Jair Jurrjens struck out three batters and gave up one run in 3.2 innings in the Braves 3-1 win over the Yankees on Saturday. He gave up four hits but walked none.
Our View:
The 23-year-old has nice command of his unimpressive stuff and as he gets to know hitters better, expect him to improve his numbers. Despite struggling later in 2008, he still managed a 13-10 record with a 3.68 ERA.
February 25, 2009
Jair Jurrjens had a rough outing in today's 5-4 loss to the Tigers, as he issued two earned runs, four hits and one walk over two innings, with no strikeouts.
Our View:
Jurrjens could reach 200 innings this season, but his low strikeout totals will leave a bit to be desired as a fantasy hurler.
February 15, 2009
Jair Jurrjens will not represent the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Jurrjens seemed to have worn down towards the end of last season, and taking part in the WBC may hvae expecidted that collapse this season. Now on his regular schedule, look for Jurrjens to improve on his respectable 2008 numbers. He still walks more hitters than we would like, but that's the type of issue that can be resolved with experience and better conditioning.
