Jair Jurrjens is one of the most coveted right handers in baseball this off season, and supposedly the Atlanta Braves aren't that willing to trade him unless they get a huge package for him.

Jurrjens had a huge year last year. I take that back. Jurrjens had a huge first half of the year last year. For as good as he was in the first 3 months, he was just as bad in the last 3 months, and that's to expected with a lot of young pitchers.

I don't really know why the Braves are so against trading Jurrjens. I think it would be a great move for many reasons because the Braves are not that far away from being a dominant force once again. They have some young bats like Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman. They have an outstanding back end of the pen with Craig Kimbrel and Johnny Venters. They have some real good arms in their rotation already, but with all that being said-

The 5th reason why I trade him? He's been banged up. He's real young and has had some arm issues already. That's a red flag for me. Eventually, you'll have to pay him and now your paying a risk. Not something I would wanna be a part of.
