Sox Sign Bobby Kielty to Minor League Deal
The red headed step-outfielder is back in a Red Sox uniform. Kielty, a reserve outfielder last season, has agreed to a minor league contract and an invite to training camp.
Kielty batted .218 with one home run and 12 RBI in only 33 games last year with Oakland and Boston. His shortened season was due primarily to losing his starting job in Oakland when he tore some cartilage in his left knee. He was eventually released by the Athletics and picked up by Boston. He only played in 20 games for the Sox and performed well enough, but was best remembered for his pinch-hit home run in game 4 of the World Series.
