Opening Day Roster Set

The Boston Red Sox have set there opening day roster by informing Kyle Snyder and Javy Lopez they have both made the 25-man roster.

Both will serve in the bullpen until Mike Timlin is activated from the DL.

Craig Hansen was sent to Pawtucket this morning and Manny Delcarmen was informed he didn't make the 25-man roster.

Alex Ochoa also accepted a minor league assignment from Boston.

Delcarmen could still find himself on the opening day roster if Boston can find a trade partner for Joel Piniero who's value to the team is very low now that Jonathan Papelbon was moved back to closer. With Jon Lester, Devern Hansack and Kason Gabbard in Pawtucket he has no value as a starter with the Sox.
