Jurrjens is well worth considering for NL Rookie of the Year, but Geovany Soto and/or Joey Votto will probably have a thing or two to say about that. That said, it was an impressive year for the 22-year-old right-hander, whose effective sinker should enable him to carry his success into 2009.
News: Braves SP Mike Hampton will start Sunday's finale at Houston, replacing Jair Jurrjens. Jurrjens finishes his rookie season with a 13-10 record and a 3.68 ERA.
Analysis: Jurrjens slowed down the stretch, but he had an impressive rookie season and will get deserved consideration for NL Rookie of the Year. You can likely draft him as a No. 5 Fantasy SP next season, and he has the upside to grow into more
Jair Jurrjens will skip his final scheduled start to give Mike Hampton one last hurrah. There's no point in pushing the 22-year-old out there for a start that holds no significance. Hampton, an impending free agent, is excited about the opportunity: "It gives me another chance to prove what I can do, so I'm happy." Jurrjens will finish his rookie season with 13 wins and a 3.68 ERA.Source: Braves.mlb.com Related: Mike Hampton
Jair Jurrjens is going to skip his final start Sunday so Mike Hampton can get one more chance to prove what he can do, according to MLB.com.Jurrjens has pitched 188.1 innings this season, but is not tired and is still physically fine. He won 13 games this season with a 3.68 ERA and 1.37 WHIP and has nothing left to prove.
The move is a precautionary one, as Jurrjens appears to be physically sound but has thrown 45 more innings this year than in any previous professional season. Meanwhile, Hampton will be given one additional chance to prove himself as he prepares to face the free-agent market in the offseason.
