Payback for the good years we squeezed out of Jair Jurrjens.
Braves turned down a potential offseason trade where they would have gotten Adam Jones in his prime. O's wanted JJ in return. It was the offseason after JJ had made the all-star team. Sadly I don't think JJ even finished that following season on Atlanta's big league squad.
Before that point, JJ had been very good and I understand them not wanting to let him go. I went Turner Field and watched him beat the Giants and out duel Tim Lincecum in his prime.
