Angels claimed INF Chris Nelson off waivers from the Yankees.

Nelson was DFA'd by the Yankees earlier this week and batted just .222 (8-for-36) with two doubles and two RBI in 10 games with the club. He should provide depth at third base behind Alberto Callaspo with the Angels. Scott Cousins has been dropped from the 40-man roster in a corresponding move.

Yankees designated INF Chris Nelson for assignment.

He was cleared to make room for David Adams on the active roster. Nelson was acquired from the Rockies two weeks ago and batted .222 (8-for-36) with two doubles and two RBI in 10 games with the club. He should draw some interest on waivers.

Yankees acquired INF Chris Nelson from the Rockies in exchange for cash or player to be named later.

Nelson is a solid fit in New York with both Alex Rodriguez and Kevin Youkilis on the disabled list. He figures to see most of the starts at third base while Youk is on the DL, moving Jayson Nix back into a utility role. Nelson can also back up at second base and at shortstop in a pinch.

According to Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger, the Yankees have expressed interest in Chris Nelson.

But McCullough thinks the Yankees will wait until Nelson clears waivers before attempting to acquire him. The 27-year-old infielder was designated for assignment by Colorado on Sunday to clear a roster spot for top prospect Nolan Arenado. Nelson owns a .279/.322/.416 career batting line in the major leagues.

Rockies designated 3B Chris Nelson for assignment.

Nelson batted just .242 with no home runs and also played poor defense to seal his fate. It's not surprising that the Rockies are making the move to Nolan Arenado, but it's a little surprising that they designated Nelson for assignment. He should draw interest on waivers.

I made an executive decision over the weekend when I was away drinking champagne and sitting in front of the fire with my friend in Carmel (she was decidedly better looking than the Peep that you see in main photo, and she is even sweeter than my sugary friend as well). I decided that every [...]
