Jon Heyman: Orioles, Red Sox, Blue Jays others like Jurrjens
Also mentioned by Heyman as showing "Some interest" in Jurrjens are his former team, the Tigers. Jair Jurrjens has drawn some interest from the Orioles, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Rockies, Tigers, Rangers and others. However, while Jurrjens is a terrific young starter, he appears to be behind Oakland's Gio Gonzalez on the pecking order of most teams, possibly because of potential concerns about the knee injury that hampered him at the end of last year. Jurrjens is undeniably talented (career 3.40 ERA), but has also been limited by injuries in 3 of the past 5 seasons. Durability issues were one reason why the Tigers dealt him in the first place as part of the ill-fated Edgar Renteria trade back in '07. What are your thoughts on Jair Jurrjens and the Tigers rumored interest in reacquiring him?
