If rookie Jair Jurrjens didn't lock up a spot in the Braves' starting rotation with three perfect innings Thursday against Detroit, surely he did with four scoreless innings of two-hit ball Monday in a 3-1 win against St. Louis. "Just having fun," said Jurrjens (2-0), who has a 1.00 ERA and .138 opponents' average in three starts. He has allowed four hits and one run in nine innings with two walks and four strikeouts. "Pretty impressive, for his age and limited experience," said Cox, who loves the 22-year-old's mound presence and efficiency. "He's a professional pitcher." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

That is one heck of an impressive start...and three starts is usually what the gonig rate for a good indicator is...We will have to watch this kid...how did he do in the minors?

I forgot all about him. I had him on my watchlist last season. I just picked him up in my keeper league.
