Nelson understands decision to shut him down

CHICAGO -- On Tuesday, less than a week after being hit in the head by a line drive, Brewers right-hander Jimmy Nelson said that he feels fine. No, make that great. He feels great.

"Since the ball hit my head, I've felt great," Nelson said. "I've never, through the whole process, had any symptoms of a concussion. Even the doctor said I never had a concussion or a fracture in the skull or anything."

Still, Nelson understands why the neurologists who have been treating him decided that he should not pitch the rest of the season.
