After a closed door meeting that also included CEO Larry Lucchino and majority owner John W. Henry, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said he is "very satisfied" with Bobby Valentine. Asked to assess the job Valentine has done, Cherington expressed support for his manager, who was booed loudly throughout Saturday's game against the Yankees by a crowd of 37,839. "Very satisfied," Cherington said. "He makes the lineup out, makes decisions during the game. The players will always influence wins and losses more than anybody else, and that's no different here. "He's doing the best he can with the roster he has. It'll get better. He knows that and I know that, and along the way if changes need to be made on the roster, that's my responsibility."
