With all the talk of Grienke, Lincecum, Joba, etc., many are forgetting about another young pitcher with ace stuff.

And just for you Mets fans

quote:

Five years from now, he's an ace, if he's healthy. If you said you could have Jurrjens or [the Mets' Mike] Pelfrey, I'd take Jurrjens 10 times out of 10.


With everybody so excited about Hanson and Medlen (and for good reason), let's not forget about this guy who I hope we can sign to a long term deal.

So some anonymous scout thinks in 5 years the 6'0 160lb Jurrjens will be an ace and would take him over the 6'7 200lb Mike Pelfrey 10 out of 10 times? really?

Jurrjens has a high effort delivery and maxes out at 92 right now, versus Pelfrey with his low effort delivery and maxes out at 98? Who do you think this anonymous scout is? Albert Brooks?

Fixed.

Why are we discussing this again?

Jair Francoise Jurrjens (pronounced "JEYE-er JER-jens") (born January 29, 1986 in Willemstad, Curaçao, in the Netherlands Antilles) is a Dutch starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. Jurrjens is represented by Scott Boras.[1]
