After that, if he’s still at 1.80 and he doesn’t come up, then there’s a problem with Brave’s management that’s even greater than we thought was already the case.

He is just going through a little slump. I don’t believe he can sustain what he did before the all star break last year, but he’s at the very least a third starter in the rotation. Besides Beachy has been the only solid starter. Tim Hudson isn’t in his groove since his return and Tommy Hanson hasn’t exactly been lighting the league on fire either. So bring him back up.

Maybe then Fat Fredi would show his players a little more encouragement, a little more respect, and perhaps even give some thought to the recurring lapses, peccadilloes and misjudgments that have now made him such a halfassed excuse for a field general for two different teams.

The Braves wanted more value than that for him, but no team would bite.

Of course, the inability to get maximum value out of Jurrjens is probably inconsequential when taken in context with an ownership group that is unwilling to spend money and the employment of a god awful manager.

Minor belongs in the pen anyway.
