[soxfan17881]

From MLB.com:

 

The roster consists of 13 pitchers (David Aardsma, Clay Buchholz, Bryan Corey, Manny Delcarmen, Jon Lester, Javier Lopez, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Hideki Okajima, Jonathan Papelbon, Kyle Snyder, Julian Tavarez, Mike Timlin and Tim Wakefield); three catchers (Jason Varitek, Kevin Cash and Dusty Brown); eight infielders (Sean Casey, Alex Cora, Mike Lowell, Jed Lowrie, Julio Lugo, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis); and six outfielders (Coco Crisp, J.D. Drew, Jacoby Ellsbury, Bobby Kielty, Brandon Moss and Manny Ramirez).

 

The story mentions that, due the the strange schedule because of the Japan trip, the Sox are allowed to have some extras for the trip. Schilling will be traveling with the team, as well.

Ya they get 3 extra players.

 

I'd expect Lowrie, Brown, Buchholz(if Colon starts), and Moss to be sent to AAA as soon as team returns.

By my count thats 30 guys, so 5 extras. I expect Brown, Aardsma, Lowrie, Corey and Moss to go down.
