Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

Dayton up 3-0 thru 4.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

CV with a huge April. Hopefully he can follow it up with big May.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

Cueto fires a 1-2-3 5th inning while recording two more strikeouts. His updated line: 5 innings, 3 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 8 strikeouts. All three hits are singles.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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?

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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.

Oh here it is. This quote comes from Doug Dirt, who watched the game on TV a few days ago.

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.

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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;) .

Re: 4-25 Minor league updates
 

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.
