Sox Spring Roster Moves

[BrewerBall13]

So, to the best of my knowledge, here is how the Sox's Spring roster moves have played out now that the season has begun

Brackets indicate players who've been optioned to the minors, reassigned to minor league camp, cut, or placed on th 60-day DL. The latter are also denoted by an asterisk (*). A pound sign (#) denotes a player on the 30-day DL. Dollar sign ($) denotes a player currently on 15-day DL.

Names in blue are non-roster invitees. Players in red have been released or claimed off waivers by another team. All others (except those on the 60-day DL) are on the 40-man roster.

My question is...what happens when Beckett and Timlin come back off the DL? I would think Corey goes down, but then what? Trade Tavarez/Coco? Send Aardsma down? Send Lopez down?

I'd guess they send down Aardsma...can the market for Tavarez be much?
