INDIANAPOLIS -- Casey Kelly, the Red Sox' 2008 first-round draft choice who's been splitting time between pitching and playing shortstop, has decided to become a full-time pitcher.
As a pitcher, Kelly split the 2009 season between Greenville and Salem, both of which are Class A teams -- Greenville is Low A, Salem is High A -- and had a combined 2.08 ERA. Then, shifting to shortstop, he played for both Greenville and the GCL Red Sox and batted .222.
The Sox have always felt Kelly had more promise as a pitcher, and he apparently made his decision after discussing the matter with his father and Red Sox officials. He will report to the Red Sox Rookie Developement Program in January and will attend spring training with the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee.

It' not like no one saw this coming, but its good that he finally realized that his baseball career is going to be as a pitcher.
