This writer from CNNSI has Cueto third on his list. Recognition. :beerme:
3. Johnny Cueto, RHP, Reds (N/A)
Season Stats: 8-3, 2.38 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 6.4 K/9, 3.35 K/BB, 6.8 IP/GS, 2 CG
Last Four Starts: 3-1, 2.05 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 7.6 K/9, 4.33 K/BB, 7.7 IP/GS, 1 CG
Cueto's 2011 season was shortened on the ends by shoulder inflammation and a latissimus dorsi strain, but if you add his 2011 and 2012 seasons together, he has gone 17-8 with a 2.33 ERA (172 ERA+) in 250 2/3 innings with five complete games in 38 starts. This year alone, he was 4-0 with a 1.12 ERA through his first seven starts before a couple of poor mid-May outings briefly bumped him from this list, but those remain his only two non-quality starts since April 11.
Cueto's ERA is a tick above Cain's, but the relative environments of their home ballparks make Cueto's the superior figure, as illustrated by the adjusted ERA+, which has Cueto at 174 (with 100 being average) to Cain's 153. On the road, Cain has a 3.48 ERA, while Cueto's is 2.15. However, Cain leads Cueto in nearly every other category as well, which is why he's ahead of the Reds ace on this list.
