The Baltimore Sun reports that Jair Jurrjens still hasn't decided whether to pitch for the Netherlands in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Jurrjens recently signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Orioles and can't afford to miss spring training if he hopes to win a starting rotation spot. He also pitched throughout 2012 with a knee brace and blamed a quad injury on his diminished velocity last season. The 26-year-old right-hander doesn't expect to make a decision until his contract is finalized sometime next week.
