“Johnny surged through the system in 2007, and his ERA improved even as the competition became tougher. He posted a 3.33 ERA at Class A Sarasota, 3.10 at Double-A Chattanooga and 2.05 at Triple-A Louisville. Cueto’s next stop could be the rotation. ”He’s definitely close,” says Mario Soto, who works with the young Reds pitchers. ”He could help the team now.””
In two seasons as a Reds starter, Cueto went 20-25 with a 4.61 ERA. So far this season, he’s sporting a 4.91 ERA and no decision after 2 starts.
