It Is Set

From the Great Globe:

The Red Sox have set their 25-man roster for Opening Day in Kansas City. The Sox are going with 12 pitchers and 13 position players.

PITCHERS (12): Daisuke Matsuzaka, Curt Schilling, Tim Wakefield, Jonathan Papelbon, Julian Tavarez, Brendan Donnelly, Josh Beckett, Hideki Okajima, Joel Pineiro, J.C. Romero, Kyle Snyder, and Javier Lopez.

CATCHERS (2): Jason Varitek and Doug Mirabelli.

INFIELDERS (6): David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Julio Lugo, Mike Lowell, Alex Cora, and Kevin Youkilis.

OUTFIELDERS (5): Manny Ramirez, Coco Crisp, J.D. Drew, Eric Hinske, and Wily Mo Pena.

Craig Hansen and Manny Delcarman were optioned to Pawtucket today.

So there you have it. No Timlin! Disabled list.

I do hope Hansen gets a lot of work in Pawtucket. I will just keep waiting until he breaks out because one day, it will happen.

Oh, and I have a minor situation here in my life that might cause me to kill someone, so if you all don't hear from me for a while, please feel free to assume I went and did that!
