AFJF Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Free-agent reliever Jeff Nelson and the Yankees have had conversations about a minor-league deal that would bring Nelson to spring training next month with a chance to make the major-league roster. -- Newark Star-Ledger I have no problem with the Yanks giving Nelson a look and in all honesty I wouldn't mind if they gave Embree a shot at making the roster as well. One more arm in the 'pen and the Yanks are set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 How old is Nelson? He can still get righties out though I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 How old is Nelson? He can still get righties out though I bet. If he can still throw that slider/slurve of his, he'll be able to get people out forever. That's one of the best pitches in MLB when he's on. By no means am I saying to bring the guy back as a primary set up man or anything along those lines. Just let him compete for a middle guy who can get you out of a jam from time to time.
