Sox sign Kielty
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff
The Red Sox have signed outfielder Bobby Kielty to a minor league deal. He is expected to report to Pawtucket to join the PawSox on Wednesday.
Kielty was released by the Athletics on Aug. 1. He hit .200 in 13 games for Oakland this season and spent a significant amount of time on the disabled list with a torn meniscus in his left knee. Kielty hit .270 with eight home runs and 36 RBIs in 2006.
The plan is to get him some at-bats with the hopes he can join the Red Sox once he shows he's ready to play.
