48. Jair Jurrjens, RHP, Braves

Jurrjens, 22, was acquired from the Tigers in the Edgar Renteria deal. Detroit was pleased with his performance last season and hoped to give him a spot in the rotation. His chances of making the Braves’ veteran staff depend on the health of Atlanta’s Top 5. He could be considered the sixth option as a starter going into spring training but is more like to be sent to Class AAA than go in the bullpen.
