The Detroit Free Press’ Jon Paul Morosi reports Atlanta Braves SP Jair Jurrjens led the Braves and established personal highs in starts (31), innings (188 1/3) and wins (13) in 2008, while leading all National League rookies in wins. The 22-year-old right-hander also had a solid 3.68 ERA.

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.
