Herald:
Mike Timlin will open the season on the disabled list due to the team's cautious approach to bringing him back from a left oblique strain suffered on Feb. 25. ... Timlin is due back no earlier than April 10.

save yesterday against the Twins.
Rotoworld says the Sox can now open the season with both Kyle Snyder and Manny Delcarmen.
Farrell just did a live spot during the game on ESPN, and he said barring an addition to the roster, we'll start the year with Donnelly, Piniero, or SL as closer.
