Saturday's Red Sox wrapup from Japan

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.
