SPRING TRAINING
Jurrjens makes Braves roster, in disbeliefBraves rookie pitcher Jair Jurrjens said a few weeks ago that he wouldn't assume he had made the squad until someone from the team told him it was so.
He's listed in the Braves game notes as the starter for Game 3 on Wednesday against Pittsburgh. Cox confirmed the order to the media Thursday.

But Jurrjens said he hasn't been told by anyone.
"I suppose that means I made the team," he said. "I'm still not going to believe it till I fly to Washington [for the season opener Sunday]. I'm not telling anyone. I'm still waiting."
He laughed.
"That [plan] could change. You always have to be prepared."
Jurrjens also will start tonight's exhibition game at Turner Field against Cleveland, facing Indians ace Fausto Carmona.
