Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens has been more than impressive so far this season. He’s 4-0 with a 1.50 ERA. Jurrjens had major health concerns coming into this season. He missed the playoffs last season because of a meniscus tear he suffered in September. So far, he’s been the ace of the Braves’ staff. The thing that is most impressive as a fantasy owner is that Jurrjens had a terrible April last season. He was 0-3 with an ERA above 6. This season, Jurrjens has defeated pitchers Mike Pelfrey, Aaron Harang (who is 5-2 this season), Yovani Gallardo and, most recently, Cole Hamels. Injury concerns will always be there for Jurrjens, but so far, he shows no signs of knee problems. If you own a big name pitcher like Clay Buchholz, moving him for Jurrjens will be more than beneficial to your fantasy roster.
