The Los Angeles Dodgers, already filled to the brim with pitching depth at both the major and minor league levels, have enough quality arms to take a flier on former Milwaukee Brewers ace Jimmy Nelson, who is trying his hardest to return to the pros after several years on the sidelines.
After a few years as an average starter in Milwaukee, Nelson’s 2017 season was remarkable, as he went 12-6 with a 3.49 ERA while coming up one batter shy of 200 strikeouts.
