Always Improving
John Fay notes that Johnny Cueto keeps getting better. He's having a great spring training, plus:
My personal theory on Cueto? The more pressure, the better he gets. His ERA went down as he went from A to AA to AAA last year. Cueto's next start is Monday against the Tigers. It's on FSN. Dial it up the kid is fun to watch.
The move from A to AA was very impressive last year. His strikeout rate went up and his walk rate went down. All told in the minors he's striking out better than nine per nine innings, while walking one about every four innings. I just think he's simply a pitcher who is ready for the majors.
