According to a reporter from the KC Star, the Sox have acquired Timothy Hulett from the Royals for a PTBNL.

Hulett is a versatile utility guy who can play all over the infield and outfield (including SS). Combine that with the fact that he answers to the name “Tug”, and I believe my Gritty-Meter just exploded.

He hasn’t been able to hit major league pitching yet, but did manage to hit .291/.384/.473 last year in AAA (granted, it was the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League).  Hulett’s career OBP in the minor leagues is hovering around .400, so it’s safe to say that he would probably be an improvement over Nick Green were he to fill that role.
