Would You Take Jurrjens IF....

Postby Remotethumb » Mon Feb 22, 2010 10:59 pm

12 team 23 man roster -$255 cap - 5 x 5 H2H - start 5 SP 2 RP

Would you draft Jurrjens ($14) in the 14th round if you had Tommy Hanson?

My pitchers so far :

SP J. Santana ($25)
SP T. Hanson ($13)
SP U. Jimenez ($16)
SP
SP Strasburg ($1) (maybe)

RP M. Gonzalez ($5)
RP O. Dotel ($1)

Jair Jurrjens is a good pitcher to have, so if pitching depth is starting to run out, take him. He is good for lowering ERA and WHIP. With Santana, Hanson and Jimenez, you probably won't need another high-K guy.

I don't see the how having Hanson is a conflict to own Jurrjens, but with that $14 I'd be staying far away as I doubt he sniffs last year's numbers.

I follow the Braves consistently, Jurrjens is one of those consistenciy players. He may not get back to a sub-2.80 ERA. But another 3.00 ERA isn't hard to imagine. He is drastically underrated.

Not taking Jurrjens at all this year. We're not even in to spring training yet and he's complaining of shoulder problems. He had an MRI which didn't show any structural damage, but he's still whining about it. I predict a shortened season for him this year.

Having Hanson wouldn't affect my decision, but $14 seems a little too high for me.
