Newsbreakers
October 3, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed four runs on five hits and four walks over six innings on Saturday, but hung on for the victory. He fanned six in the 8-4 win over the Pirates.
Our View:
Cueto finishes the 2009 season with an 11-11 record and a 4.41 ERA. He struggled in the second half though, posting an ERA near six and amassing a 3-5 record.
September 27, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed three runs in 7.1 innings on Sunday, enough to do in the Reds, as they lost 3-2 in Houston.
Our View:
Cueto also walked five batters. He is now 10-11 with a 4.35 ERA in 165.1 innings this season.
September 22, 2009
Johnny Cueto lasted just long enough to get the victory over the Pirates on Tuesday. He went five innings and gave up two runs on nine hits. The right-hander fanned two and did not walk a batter in the 10-4 win.
Our View:
Cueto has lasted six innings just once in his last eight starts and has only one quality start in his last nine. Both years of his young career he has started off with a bang and then crumbled in the second half.
September 16, 2009
Johnny Cueto was sent home by the Reds on Wednesday due to a case of the flu, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Mark Sheldon. The team indicated that Matt Maloney would start on Thursday if Cueto is not able to go.
Our View:
Cueto has been pitching better as of late, so it would be unfortunate for him and the team if he was unable to go. If he can't make it, Maloney is not a fantasy option in the spot start.
September 12, 2009
Johnny Cueto was solid on Saturday, but he did not factor into the decision as the Reds beat the Cubs 7-5. Cueto went 5.1 innings and allowed three runs on four hits while walking three and striking out three.
Our View:
Cueto was excellent early, but he ran into trouble in the sixth inning. Overall, he has been pretty good in his last two starts, but it is hard to trust him after his terrible patch before his injury.
September 6, 2009
Johnny Cueto was sharp for the second straight game since coming off of the disabled list on Sunday, striking out nine Braves in six innings of one-run ball.
Our View:
Cueto has allowed just two runs in 11 innings since being activated last week, a far cry from the 39 he had allowed in his previous 33.
August 31, 2009
Johnny Cueto only surrendered one earned run on three hits over five innings in Monday's 6-3 win over the Pirates in the nightcap of their doubleheader at the Great American Ballpark. He had one walk and five strikeouts.
Our View:
This was a good outing for Cueto, who is fresh off the DL following his recovery from shoulder inflammation. He should be fine to employ in fantasy lineups for his next turn in the Reds' rotation.
August 31, 2009
Johnny Cueto has been activated from the 15-day DL following his bout with shoulder inflammation, according to TSN.
Our View:
Cueto is slated to start the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh. He is 8-10 with a 4.61 ERA over 24 starts this season.
August 28, 2009
Johnny Cueto (shoulder inflammation) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Monday and to start game two of the team's doubleheader against the Pirates, according to MLBlogs.com.
Our View:
Hopefully the time off did Cueto some good. In nine starts since July 1, the young righty is 1-6 with a 9.00 ERA.
August 27, 2009
MLBlogs.com reports that Johnny Cueto (shoulder inflammation) threw a bullpen session on Thursday and felt no pain.
Our View:
Cueto threw 56 pitches and everything seemed to go smoothly. He is eligible to come off the DL on Monday, and looks like he will arrive on schedule and start one of the games in Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
August 19, 2009
According to the Twitter page of Reds' beat writer Mark Sheldon, the team has placed starting pitcher Johnny Cueto of the 15-day DL with right shoulder inflammation.
Our View:
This move comes as no surprise, as Cueto has been just awful as of late and he has complained of soreness in several different areas. Micah Owings will start in Cueto's place on Friday.
August 18, 2009
MLBlogs.com reports that Johnny Cueto is still scheduled to start Friday's contest against the Pirates.
Our View:
Dont expect this to be the Reds' final decision. Cueto has been miserable lately and is having trouble feeling the ball come out of his hand and he's dealing with hip soreness. He's a good bet to land on the DL. Micah Owings would take the hill if Cueto is unable.
August 15, 2009
Johnny Cueto was lit up for seven earned runs on eight hits over 2.2 innings in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Nationals at the Great American Ballpark. He had no walks and one strikeout.
Our View:
Cueto suffered his 10th loss of the season, and is winless over his last eight starts. He will remain an unstable fantasy option for his next trip to the hill.
August 11, 2009
MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports that the injury that forced Johnny Cueto out of his Monday night start after just two innings was only cramps, and that he is expected to make his next start on Saturday.
Our View:
For once, some good injury news for the Reds. Of course, Cueto had gotten lit up in his five previous starts to last night, and some time on the DL to re-tool may have done him some good. Either way, pencil him in for Saturday.
August 10, 2009
Johnny Cueto exited Monday's battle at St. Louis after two innings with a tight hip flexor, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Cueto will be evaluated Tuesday. Kip Wells replaced Cueto on the mound.
August 4, 2009
Johnny Cueto suffered through another terrible outing on Tuesday as the Reds fell to the Cubs 6-3. Cueto went 5.2 innings and allowed five runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out four.
Our View:
Cueto has been bad over the last month or so, and it is getting to the point that fantasy owners can't afford to keep him on the roster. He is showing no signs of breaking out of these struggles, so find another option if you can, and bench him for now if you can't.
July 30, 2009
Johnny Cueto got blown up yet again on Thursday, surrendering six earned runs in five innings, as the Reds lost to the Padres 7-4 at home.
Our View:
Cueto has simply been abysmal in his last five starts, giving up six, four, three, four and nine runs respectively. His ERA now rests at a season-high (since April 17) 4.06. You may want to consider benching him until he works through his slump.
July 25, 2009
Johnny Cueto struggled again on Saturday as the Reds fell to the Cubs by a score of 5-3. Cueto went six innings and allowed four runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out four.
Our View:
Cueto has not been very good in his last four starts or so, and he is really starting to hurt fantasy rotations. It may be smart to look at matchups with Cueto going forward until he breaks out of this slump. His ERA is now up to 3.78, which isn't terrible but is over a full run higher than it was last month. The stuff is still there, but he needs to harness it to be effective like he was early in the season.
July 19, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed three runs in six innings on Sunday, taking a no-decision as Cincinnati beat Milwaukee 5-3 at home.
Our View:
Cueto wasn't great on Sunday, but it was still an improvement on his last two outings, where he managed to allow 13 runs in just 5.2 innings. After sitting at 2.69 on July 1, his ERA has now risen to 3.67.
July 11, 2009
Johnny Cueto was tagged for four earned runs on nine hits over five innings in Saturday's 4-0 loss at the Mets. He had two walks and four strikeouts.
Our View:
Cueto is 1-2 with a 10.03 over three starts this month, after going 3-1 with a 3.60 ERA in June. Hopefully he can get back on track in his next outing after the All-Star break.
July 6, 2009
Johnny Cueto got annihilated by the Phillies on Monday. He was unable to make it out of the first inning, recording just two outs while surrendering nine runs off five hits (two home runs), three walks and a hit batter.
Our View:
To Cueto's credit, the nine runs he gave up didn't account for even half the 22 that Philadelphia would finish with. Still, this performance came out of nowhere, following a one-hit gem against Arizona last week. Cueto's ERA jumped from 2.69 to 3.45, and he's now surrendered at least five runs in four of his past five outings (although they were all unearned in his June 14 start against the Royals). Cueto remains lights out when he's on, but leave it to tonight's performance to prove that he's not yet an elite pitcher and could fall off a bit in the second half of the season.
July 1, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed just one hit in six innings on Wednesday as the Reds squeaked by the Diamondbacks 1-0.
Our View:
Cueto has developed into a truly exceptional starter in 2009, and now has a 2.69 ERA and microscopic 1.12 WHIP through 103.2 innings.
June 25, 2009
Johnny Cueto won his seventh game of the season on Thursday, despite surrendering five earned runs in the Reds 7-5 victory over Toronto.
Our View:
Cueto has quietly developed into a top of the line fantasy starter after an inconsistent 2008. You might be able to buy low on the talented righty right now as his reputation hasn't caught up to his numbers yet.
June 20, 2009
Johnny Cueto got hammered by the White Sox on Saturday as the Reds fell 10-8. Cueto went 4.2 innings and allowed five runs on ten hits while striking out four. He did not factor into the decision.
Our View:
Cueto has been very good this season, but he was not tonight. He got victimized by the long ball tonight as the Sox bombed three off of him, but one bad start is no reason to condemn him. Expect Cueto to rebound in his next start, and if he does we can chalk this one up as just not having it for one night.
June 14, 2009
Johnny Cueto pitched well on Sunday but was hit with the loss as the Reds fell to the Royals 7-1. Cueto went six innings and allowed five unearned runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out four.
Our View:
Cueto didn't get much help from his offense or his defense today, and he was hit with the loss despite not giving up an earned run. He is still a solid play in all leagues.
June 9, 2009
Johnny Cueto enjoyed a solid outing in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Washington, as he only allowed one earned run on four hits over seven innings. He had four walks and five strikeouts.
Our View:
Cueto has won back-to-back starts, and allowed one earned run in both outings. The rising star continues to pitch well for Cincinnati.
June 3, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed only one run in 6.1 innings while earning his fifth win of the season in the Reds 9-3 victory in St. Louis on Wednesday. He allowed seven hits, no walks and struck out three.
Our View:
The 23-year-old's strikeout rate is way down this season, but his effectiveness is up. He currently has a 2.43 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Both of those marks rank in the top five in the NL among qualifying pitchers.
May 24, 2009
Johnny Cueto tossed seven solid innings against the Indians on Sunday. He allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks over seven innings and struck out seven. He did not factor in the decision as the Reds won 4-3 in 11 innings.
Our View:
Cueto has been masterful this season. He has six quality starts in his last seven outings and is cruising along with a 4-2 record and a 2.37 ERA.
May 19, 2009
Johnny Cueto was handed just his second loss of the season on Tuesday as the Reds fell to the Phillies 4-3. He allowed four runs on seven hits over seven innings and struck out four in the game.
Our View:
Cueto didn't have his best stuff on Tuesday, but he still kept his team in the game. That is a good sign from an up and coming young pitcher who has shown flashes of brilliance this season. Hang on to him, as the best is yet to come.
May 14, 2009
Johnny Cueto had another solid start on Wednesday, allowing just three runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He improved to 4-1 as the Reds crippled the Diamondbacks 10-3.
Our View:
Cueto is developing into one of the best young starters in baseball and is a big reason why the upstart Reds are now tied for first in the NL Central. He is sporting a minuscule 1.93 ERA on the season. Just a word of caution though: he started hot last season and fizzled. We're not saying that's going to happen again, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
May 8, 2009
Johnny Cueto continued his dominance of National League hitters on Friday. He held a potent Cardinal offense to just one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings. His performance improved his record to 3-1 on the year.
Our View:
Cueto was craft in this one, but the only gripe fantasy owners will have was that he only struck out three. The Cardinals have been whiffing a lot lately and it's surprising that Cueto didn't fan more of them. Still, he had a brilliant outing.
May 3, 2009
Johnny Cueto threw a gem on Sunday, throwing eight innings of shutout ball as the Reds defeated the Pirates 5-0. Cueto allowed four hits and one walk while striking out nine.
Our View:
Cueto has quietly been very good so far this season. He only has two wins, but he has an ERA of 1.65 and he has 29 strikeouts in 32.2 innings pitched. He is a strong option in all leagues at this point.
April 27, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed only one run in seven innings of work but left with a no-decision in the Reds 4-1 loss to the Astros on Monday. He allowed seven hits and one walk, while striking out five.
Our View:
Cueto threw seven shutout innings in his last outing, but also avoided a decision in that game. He has just eight strikeouts in those last two games, but owners have to enjoy the 2.19 ERA and 1.18 WHIP.
April 22, 2009
Johnny Cueto shutout the Cubs over seven innings as the Reds won 3-0 on Wednesday. He recorded three strikeouts against no walks, while allowing just four hits.
Our View:
Fantasy owners have come to expect better strikeout numbers from Cueto, but it's hard to argue against the results tonight. Clearly he was focused on throwing strikes tonight after walking six batters in 4.2 innings in his last outing.
April 17, 2009
Pitcher Johnny Cueto delivered a textbook example of the term "wildly effective" on Friday night. He held the Astros to two hits and one run over 4.2 innings, but Cueto also walked six batters and tossed a wild pitch. He earned a no-decision.
Our View:
Do they call him "Nuke" yet? Can we start? Cueto was on target in his previous start, but he often has outings where he struggles to find the dish. It's one of the big flaws remaining in his game, but Cueto still brings a lot of promise to the table.
March 30, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed one earned run on three hits over five innings in Monday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh, with four walks and two strikeouts.
Our View:
It was a solid outing other than the four free passes. He could be a solid hurler if can improve his control.
March 25, 2009
Johnny Cueto only allowed two hits over six shutout innings in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox, with no walks and five strikeouts.
Our View:
This was a strong outing for Cueto, and it is encouraging that he had good control, with no walks issued.
March 20, 2009
Johnny Cueto allowed two earned runs on six hits over five innings in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Astros, with no walks and one strikeout.
Our View:
Cueto could be a solid source for strikeouts, but needs to improve his control and limit his walks to be worthy of starting lineups in mixed leagues.
March 15, 2009
Johnny Cueto gave up one run on four hits and a walk, while striking out two in the Reds' 5-4 loss to Toronto on Sunday.
Our View:
The 23-year-old should improve on what should be considered a successful first season in the majors. He has a ton of strikeout potential, and he has displayed decent control, but he is severely set back by the fact that he is a flyball-pitcher playing his home games in the Great American Ballpark. Don't gamble on Cueto having a breakout season, but he should make for a fine reserve this season.
February 27, 2009
Johnny Cueto has agreed to a one-year deal with the Reds, according to the Associated Press. Financial details were not disclosed.
Our View:
The second-year hurler should be a good source for strikeouts, but allowed 29 homers over 31 starts last season, and may not improve considerably in that area while playing his home games at the hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.
