Kielty accepts assignment to Pawtucket

Bobby Kielty accepted his assignment to Pawtucket, rather than enter free agency.

The move isn’t unexpected on the Red Sox’ part. There just isn’t room for Kielty on the current roster, seeing as the outfield is already log jammed with Manny, Ellsbury, Crisp, and Drew all qualified to roam the grass on an everyday basis.

Kielty should be a good call up in the case of injury or a Coco trade.
