We’ve already seen one starting pitcher move to the bullpen this season and Jimmy Nelson is looking to avoid the same fate as Wily Peralta.
2016 was a tale of two seasons for Jimmy Nelson. His first two months were so dominant and he looked like the ace the Milwaukee Brewers hoped he would become. Nelson had eight quality starts in his first 11 outings. He also went at least six innings in nine of those starts and owned a 2.88 ERA heading into June. As soon as the calendar turned to June, Nelson’s season went down the proverbial toilet.
