NEW YORK -- The Boston Red Sox decided to take a cheap look at whether Carlos Delgado might provide a left-handed bat at first base, agreeing to a minor league deal that will pay the 38-year-old Delgado a pro-rated salary of $20,000.

Delgado, 38, is scheduled to report to Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday, and according to agent David Sloane, the player expects to need 10 days to two weeks to be ready after not playing all season. Delgado underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip, a similar procedure that Mike Lowell had, but in Delgado's case, he required surgery twice in the span of nine months, the second procedure coming in February.

Good signing, but 20K?

I wanted this to happen at the beginning of the season so I'm glad. Hopefully he can provide some help at 1st and in the lineup.
