Jair Jurrjens tweaked his knee in the bullpen on Friday and might have to sit out tonight's game against the Phillies. So obviously Kenshin Kawakami is going to start instead, right?
Wrong. Braves called up rookie pitcher Brandon Beachy to make the emergency start in case JJ can't go. I've never heard of him either. He's not in the Gwinnett Braves set I bought this year so I can't even show you his card. Here's what he looks like if you're interested.
Whoops, while I was typing this, it was announced that Beachy gets the start tonight. Sphincter: tightening.
Since I don't have a card of the guy maybe I'll have to create one later tonight. I'm pretty sure I don't need any more Kawakami cards ever again though. He may as well be back in Japan right now.
