"While most of the baseball world is congratulating the Yankees for their two bold moves Friday night, Bobby Valentine isn't completely sold.

The new Red Sox manager sees holes in the games of both Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda, the main pieces the Yankees added.

"Pineda, when I saw him the first half [of last season], he looked unhittable," Valentine told reporters when asked about the 22-year-old, whom the Yankees got from the Mariners in exchange for their top offensive prospect, Jesus Montero. "Second half, he looked OK. [The Mariners] saw a lot of him and they traded him."

Valentine also is skeptical of Kuroda, who has spent his four major league seasons in Los Angeles, but will no longer have the advantage of pitching against the NL West or in spacious Dodger Stadium."
