<p>Over the weekend, the Red Sox decided to take a chance on a former superstar, signing Carlos Delgado to a minor league deal. On Monday, he made his <a href="http://www.csnne.com/08/09/10/Delgado-goes-0-for-3-in-PawSox-debut/v1_landing_redsox.html?blockID=286687&feedID=3947">debut with Triple-A Pawtucket</a> in a game at Scranton Wilkes-Barre.</p>
<p>The 38-year old was the designated hitter and batted fourth. Unfortunately, his debut was not a huge success. Delgado went 0-for-3 with a strike out.</p>
<p>Delgado, signed as a hopeful replacement after Kevin Youkilis was lost for the season, will be with Pawtucket for Tuesday's game at the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/BOS">Red Sox</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/AmalieBenjamin/statuses/20565050684">signed Carlos Delgado to a minor-league deal</a> on Saturday, giving them another possible option to replace <span>Kevin Youkilis</span>, who is out for the remainder of the 2010 season.</p>
<p>The deal is worth <a href="http://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/20563678600">$20,000 per month</a> while he plays in the minors, and then will earn a $3 million pro-rated deal if it he makes it to the majors.</p>
<p>It was reported on Friday that Delgado was undergoing a <a href="http://boston.sbnation.com/2010/8/6/1609047/red-sox-carlos-delgado-rumor-kevin-youkilis">workout with Boston</a>. The Red Sox have until Sept. 1 to call him up, or then he will become a free agent.</p>
<p>Delgado is expected to report to AAA Pawtucket either on Saturday or Sunday and will begin playing as soon as he's ready. Delgado has not played in a game since May 10 of last year and has undergone three separate surgeries: to repair a torn labrum in his hip, to reconstruct the labrum and then another operation on his hip socket.</p>
<p>If Delgado can find his old stroke, it could be an extra bat off Boston's bench, says <a href="http://www.overthemonster.com/2010/8/7/1610985/red-sox-sign-carlos-delgado-to-a">Over The Monster</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The former superstar is certainly a good hitter if, despite not playing all year, his bat is able to catch up to major league pitching. He is particularly potent against right-handed pitching, so there's a decent chance that if he makes it, it may end up as a platoon situation with <span>Mike Lowell</span>. Delgado has also recently recovered from the same hip surgery as Lowell, so they'll have plenty to talk about besides their platoon.</p>
