Johnny Cueto Available In Yahoo
Posted by: Knox Bardeen in Sleeper Picks, Starting PitchersThank you for visiting Crooked Pitch! While you're here you'll find tons of valuable fantasy baseball information to help you win your fantasy baseball league.

I’ve been keeping my eye on this for a week now, but it was Jason from our Crooked Pitch fantasy baseball leagues’ Tigers team that scooped me. Johnny Cueto, the Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher is now, finally, available in Yahoo. Go grab him, if you’d like.
And, here’s why you might like to give him a flier. Especially in deep leagues.
- He had a 170:34 K:BB ratio last season in High-A, AA & AAA ball, pitching 161.1 innings.
- He has a mid 90’s fastball and a plus slider to go along with it.
- He’s a rookie and we all know how Dusty Baker feels about rookies. “He’s like against it… right?” (Can you name the obscure movie reference?)
- You just don’t have enough sleeper picks already on your team.
Thanks for the heads-up Jason. Now, enjoy his services!

After giving up nothing through five innings, Cueto’s first hit allowed is a home run by Justin Upton.

Well, I didn’t quote the movie exactly right (it didn’t fit) but it’s Kingpin with Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid. It’s a classic, and sports related!!!
Roy Munson: “Brother Thomas, you know what it says in the Bible about not forgiving people.”
Thomas (Zen Gesner): “Why don’t you tell us all what it says Brother Hezakiah.”
Roy Munson: “Well, it’s a… It’s against it.”
Thanks for bookmarking the site, and thanks for stopping by. Tell your friends!
