With all the major projecting systems reporting, we can now get a feel for what we might expect from Jair Jurrjens in the 2008 season.

IP ERA K/9 BB/9 HR/9
CHONE 130 4.85 6.58 3.67 1.18
Marcel 75 4.20 6.24 3.12 0.96
ZiPS 158 4.27 5.47 1.94 1.08
PECOTA 149 5.04 5.85 3.38 1.39

ZiPS likes Jurrjens to play a substantial role, but with a depressed strikeout rate.  Still, ZiPS expects a decent ERA despite middling peripheral stats.  The ZiPS walk rate is a full run below the other projection systems and I’m not sure where that came from.

PECOTA’s weighted mean projections aren’t too flattering with a home run rate.  Still, for a 5th starter that production wouldn’t be too bad.
