HBT: Red Sox seek something 'bold' at deadline

That Carl Crawford-to-the-Marlins rumor from yesterday was shot down in?approximately?15 seconds, but that doesn?t mean the Red Sox aren?t still trying to do something bold. That they are, says team president Larry Lucchino:

?I think that (general manager) Ben (Cherington) feels empowered to do it, I think he has the capacity to do it, when he took the job and in fact since then we have talked frequently about boldness.?You?ve got to know when to be bold and when to be somewhat conservative and methodical. ?This is a club (that) has been built on bold moves over the years, going way back to the?Nomar Garciaparra?trade in ?04 as one example.?

Personally, if I wanted to ?empower? my GM I probably wouldn?t be out giving expectation-raising interviews about the kinds of moves the team will make at the deadline, but I obviously don?t have as much experience in creating organizational harmony as Lucchino does.
