The Twins have signed 32-year old switch hitting outfielder Bobby Kielty to a minor league contract. Kielty has played in 33 games in AAA+A+Rookie Ball this season and he is 26 for 108 (.241 avg, .783 OPS) with 12 runs scored, 3 homers and 24 RBIs. Kielty has a reputation of lighting up lefty pitching so the Twins will probably bring him up if he shows something in the minors for the Twins. Kielty has played in 599 games in his major league career and he is 456 for 1,792 (.254 avg, .756 OPS) with 257 runs scored, 53 homers, 253 RBIs and 21 stolen bases. This was a good low risk signing for the Twins.
