Given the Orwellian nature of past Red Sox medical prognoses, you can take the following as you wish: Bobby Valentine says Carl Crawford's wrist is "doing better". The skipper's exact works were:"Saw Carl this morning. He said he felt very good, he's not experiencing any pain. We're going to all meet tomorrow morning and figure out a nice plan so he doesn't overdo it on his way back."
A "nice" plan—isn't that special! Doctors Howard, Fine and Howard (again) could not be reached for comment.
