Kielty as Charged

About two hours ago, the Red Sox reached agreement on a minor league contract with Bobby Kielty. He's scheduled to join the Pawsox in Scranton in time for Wednesday's doubleheader.

The Sox were one of several teams in the running to land Kielty. He was designated for assignment by Oakland two weeks ago and released last week.

The contract gives Kielty an out that he can exercise if the Sox don't promote him to Boston by a predetermined date later this month.

A switch-hitting outfielder, Kielty has been effective against lefties in his career.

I think this is a good signing. Im still amazed that the sox hitting coach cant see that Will Mo is trying to pull everything and that is the reason he cannot get to the outside slider. He pulls off every pitch. This signing will most likely mean the Sox will trade Pena or send him down to Pawtucket to try to work on his swing.
