Kielty Chose Sox Over Yanks
From the Boston Globe:
"The Yankees showed quite of bit of interest," Bobby Kielty said over the phone yesterday, moments after signing a minor league contract with the Red Sox, "but I definitely felt I'd rather play with the Red Sox than the Yankees. Boston was No. 1 from the get-go."
There are few words that will more instantly endear a player to Sox fans, but Kielty's affection for the team is neither a recent creation nor a manufactured one.
Where in the world was he going to play with the Yankees? Very strange.

Where is he going to play for the Sox? Manny, Coco, Drew, Pena (and Henske). And not to mention Jacob Ellsburry who they love...
I wonder if the yanks were looking at him as a fourth outfielder so they could try a trade Damon, who will certainly clear waivers. Maybe the Cubs have an interest...

Makes sense. With Alfonso out until Labor Day. Although I'm sure the Cubs would try to send back Jacques Jones (who the Yankees briefly considered acquiring a couple of seasons ago).

He probably just didn't want to have to cut his hair.
