Josh Johnson or Jair Jurrjens? WHIR!

Postby Hawkeye1 » Fri Jul 31, 2009 3:19 pm

Apples to apples, who would you rather trade for? My rotation has blown up (BIlls, Lester, Danks, Happ and Gaudin) and I have an abundance of closers (Broxton, Gregg, Soria, Capps and Downs) which the Johnson/Jurrjens owner needs. Thinking of packaging two closers for one of these guys. Thoughts?

is this a keeper league? then definitely johnson. even in a non keeper i still like johnson more, although i'm concerned about his innings total as the year goes on (he's never pitched more than 152, and he's on pace to exceed 200). anyway, i still like johnson.

i also like Johnson, same low ERA and WHIP numbers as jurrjens and more Ks... i think Florida makes a good run down the stretch too and Johnson ends up with more wins then Jurrjens

help me out...(bottom of 2nd page)

Atlanta has not given Jurrijens any run support . he could have 3-4 more wins if they scored a few more runs. And the bullpen sucks. I'll take the FLA JJ all day long.

Given the choice of the two, it's definitely Johnson.

In a keeper I would Johnson, but if it's just for this year go with Jair. He has better peripherals than Johnson and he seems locked in now.

Help with mine?

Target Josh Johnson 100%. He has been a stud pitcher his whole career and if it wasn't for the Tommy John 2 years ago he would be one of the best in baseball. He has a much higher K rate than Jair with everything else being close to equal. If this is a keeper league, Josh Johnson will probably be traded knowing Florida.
