Nilsson, who turns 35 in December, prepared for the Olympics by playing a handful of games for Atlanta's Class AAA team in Richmond and is contemplating a big-league comeback.
"I've had a good rest, I've been back home, I've got some things out of my system I wanted to do, and I'm ready to get back into baseball now," Nilsson told the Australian Associated Press.
"It could be for a year, it could be five years. I feel refreshed in a lot of ways, I feel sharp in a lot of ways, you don't feel behind. I'm as prepared as I can be - I don't think the four-year layoff is going to affect my performance."
