Jeff Nelson

The Sox have picked up Jeff Nelson and assigned him to extended Spring Training.

Yes that Jeff Nelson, the former stud reliever for the Yanks and Mariners.

He's been far from studly though at the close of his career. He's lost a lot of velocity, therefore losing some of his effectiveness.

This signing does not bode well for Dustin. I think this is a signal that he's hurting pretty bad still.
