He meant no disrespect, but Bobby Valentine laughed when he heard Friday that Andy Pettitte had come out of retirement to sign a Minor League deal with the Yankees. "I don't think he's coming back to where he was," the Red Sox manager said. "Call it a hunch." Pettitte, who turns 40 in June, retired before last season and hasn't pitched since 2010 when he went 11-3 with a 3.28 ERA in 21 starts. "Is he going to be a starter or just pick people off?" Valentine said, referring to Pettitte's tricky pickoff move. "I thought they had too much pitching before. Now what do they have? Too, too much pitching."
