Perfect World Projection: A solid mid-rotation starter.
Timetable: Lack of rotational depth killed the Braves in the second half of last year, but Jurrjens will nevertheless need to earn a [...]
Jair Jurrjens already has a decent shot at a spot in the Braves rotation. But yet another injury to Mike Hampton could help Jurrjens chances. Hampton hurt his hamstring while playing in the Mexican League.

In a meeting with the press today Dave Dombrowski dropped in a couple of tidbits germane to Jair Jurrjens.
The Tigers have 3 rotation spots solidified in Verlander, Bonderman, and Robertson. One spot will go to a veteran - either Kenny Rogers or someone acquired via trade or free agency, and one spot will go to [...]
