Good morning! And good night to the Red Sox, who are winding down their Saturday in Japan.

As we were sleeping, here's Sean McAdam's overnight report:

-- David Ortiz and J.D. Drew homered, but Clay Buchholz was a little shaky, as the Sox edged the Hanshin Tigers, 6-5, in their exhibition game.

-- A suddenly talkative Manny Ramirez says he plans to play six more years -- all with the Red Sox -- and the sky's the limit as far as what he can accomplish.

-- Bryan Corey knows he's on the bubble as far as making the Red Sox bullpen is concerned, but he's not worried about it.

-- There's a chance both Josh Beckett and Mike Timlin could start the season on the disabled list.

-- McAdam's notebook has items on Jacoby Ellsbury being dropped to eighth in the batting order, Bartolo Colon's next start and more.
