can’t quit yet
Former Ole Miss standout Bobby Kielty has signed with the York Revolution, the two-time defending champion of the country’s top independent loop, the Atlantic League. Kielty, who spent parts of seven seasons in the majors and hit .254 with 53 homers, made a comeback last season, playing in Triple-A in San Diego’s system. There are a number of familiar names in the Atlantic League, which started play in late April. Hattiesburg native and former big leaguer Joey Gathright is with Bridgeport, and ex-Jackson Generals lefty John Halama, another major league vet, is with Lancaster. Former Mississippi Braves Matt Esquivel, Reid Gorecki, Mike Daniel, Jeff Bennett, Kody Kirkland, Will Startup, Matt Wright and Chris Cody are also in the league.
