Looks like Bruce has the night off.
Deno keeps hitting in Louisville, 1-1 2B and BB
Cueto now has 6 K's through 4IP, no runs allowed
Dayton up 3-0 thru 4.
Looks like the Reds might have found a gem in Cueto. Coming into this game he had a 2 bb/21 k rate in 15 innings while allowing only 11 hits. Make that 2 walks and 27 strikeouts in 19 innings now.Quote:

Denorfia just homered, now 2-for-2 with a double, HR, and walk.
Vazquez: 4 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 4 K's
Yea, and two of his 3 HRs allowed were in his first start. To me he is the most interesting guy in the system right now.Quote:

Cueto's night is over after five brilliant innings. That brings his 2006 season statline to: 20 innings, 14 hits, 3 HR, 2 walks, 29 strikeouts, 0.80 WHIP, and a 3.15 ERA.
Sarasota has a 6-3 lead. Vazquez: 5.1 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk, 6 K's.
Dumatrait: 4 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 3 K's.
Votto 0-1 with a walk.
Didn't see this and its a bit late as it's the bottom of the 7th, but Louisville's game is on for free on MiLB.tv.
Has anyone seen Cueto yet? I see he's just 5'10", but he's only 20 is making Low A look pretty stupid right now. Is he just polished or do we have something here?
I remember reading on this site a few days ago that Cueto throws a fastball that can touch 95 and mixes in two other solid pitches.Quote:

That gives him three above average pitches and he shows good command with all three. Great stuff+production=sounds like a pretty good pitching prospect to me.Quote:
Announcer says Cueto throws his fastball at 95 and his changeup at 75. He has also been praising his curve tonight.
Cueto is a stud. Watching him pitch is sort of like watching Oswalt pitch(good comparison since both are small guys) in the late 90's working his way up the ladder. Lanky frames, but a athletic release point, mid-90's heat mixed in with quiet changes thrown for strikes, a developing breaking pitch. Has a tendency for the long ball being the anti-sinker pitcher he is, which is always a concern in homer happy GAB, but his power should mute that as he developes.
Even though he is a short guy, he has to much talent for him to be "Medlocked".
Along with Homer, the only other guy who I would call a "true" power pitcher in the organization that will be a future starter IMO. My guess he is under the knife by next summer;) .
RHP Johnny Cueto whiffed 8 batters in 5 shutout innings of 3-hit ball to earn his 2nd win of the season and help lead Dayton (CIN) to a 4-1 home triumph over Peoria (CHC). Cueto is a rapidly-rising Reds prospect. The 20-year-old right-hander is now tied for the MWL lead in punchouts with 29. He’s permitted just 14 hits and 2 walks in 20 innings, posting a 3.15 ERA. Cueto stands just 5-foot-11 but his fastball routinely hits the low-90s. He also throws a good change and slider.
