Chris Nelson had two hits and two RBI against the Padres on Wednesday. Nelson has lost a lot of playing time to Jonathan Herrera of late, but he got the start at third base today because of Troy Tulowitzki's injury. Herrera has really cooled off recently, so Nelson might be able to reclaim the starting job at third base with another couple of nice games. Both he and Herrera are pretty borderline players, though.
