New president Dombrowski 'not here to blow up' Red Sox

New Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski thought enough of the team to pick Boston over other suitors.

Now he's going to spend the next six weeks trying to figure out what's worth keeping -- in the front office, on the field at Fenway Park and in the minor leagues.

"I'm not here to blow up the organization," Dombrowski said at a Fenway Park news conference on Wednesday, a day after he was hired. "They have a lot of good people here."

Speaking to reporters a day after a mid-game shakeup that left general manager Ben Cherington on the outs, Dombrowski said he would be hiring a general manager but was in no rush.
