Cueto ST hype - 2009 edition

From the Dayton Daily News:

Johnny Cueto, pitching against mostly the starting lineup of the Boston Red Sox, was in mow-'em-down mode.

In his six innings Wednesday, he faced the minimum 18 batters — two Bosox singled but were wiped out on double plays. And he struck out five.

"Everything was working — fastball, change-up, slider, sinker," said Cueto, who threw 69 pitches (48 strikes), then went to the bullpen and threw 20 more.

hurt his elbow the end of last year (under-reported). combined with throwing the slider so much, good chance he breaks down this year (similar to ervin santana). i wouldn't mind him on my on-line team, but i have to get him at a discount.

Hurt his elbow? Too many sliders? I hardly know you Gekko.

Late round steal this year.
