Lenny showed up at the Hot Stove/Cool Music benefit recently and jammed with Theo and Gammons. That's definitely a good sign. In terms of his chances of jumping back into the organization with all the pitching changes this year, I have no clue. Our pitching is chock-full-of-warm-bodies, so who knows -- especially as Hideki Okajima is an experienced lefty and will definitely make the team, if for no other reason than to be the Nelson to Dice-K's Pedro.
For now, here are Lenny's winter league final numbers: 1-0, 2.07, 16K, 5BB in 13 innings pitched.
RIP, Nelson.
