@Rotoworld_BB: Braves demote struggling Jurrjens to minors http://t.co/UMshtE3e

 

That's kind of big. I know a lot of people around here don't like him, but if the Braves are interested, I'd certainly take a chance depending in what they'd want in return.

He does know how to win.

Never been as good as his reputation. For the right price, maybe I'd listen, as he's not this bad, but he's really just another mid-end of the rotation arm.

[Cubswin11]

Wasn't he a guy, that despite his numbers on the suface (ERA, Wins, etc.), his peripherals (BABIP, WHIP, K/9, K/BB, etc.) always pointed to him taking a pretty significant step back? This demontion isn't a thing that a few couldn't at least speculate coming when those things finally turned around.

[Tryptamine]

Terrible peripherals, a declining K rate and declining velocity. I'll pass if it takes a prospect of any value.

[Clem Fandango]

There's a reason the Braves were trying to vehemently shop him around this offseason. They knew better, but they tried to gamble and hold out for a big prospect package, but nobody (wisely) offered.

If the Braves would sell low enough I'd listen, I guess.

Wade Davis is gonna be pretty excited when he stops receiving WSR's used underwear in the mail.
