• Breakout Potential: I like Bruce to break out, but I also like Johnny Cueto. Cueto just turned 23 in February, essentially skipped AAA last year, and yet still posted 8+ k/9 totals along with respectable walk totals. If he can improve his walk rates--and at times last season he seemed to have pinpoint control--and if he can get his homer rates a bit more under control, the could emerge as a really nice #2ish starter. Add him to Volquez, Harang, and Arroyo and you have the makings of a pretty darn good rotation.Chad of Reds uberblog Redleg Nation also contributed responses to these same questions. Interestingly enough, we pretty much gave the same answers! :)

I was asked to contribute answers to four questions about the Reds by the Philly Sports Post. Here's an excerpt.

but...but...Hal doesn't think Cueto should necessarily make the team.
ReplyDeleteI like Cueto to break out too. If he can regain control of the strike zone like he did in the minors (2.1 BB/9), he'll be deadly. It also depends on when he gets command of his change up. Add a solid change up to his fastball and slider and he could turn into an ace right in front of our eyes.
Oh, Hal's so cute. He just makes it so hard for me to take him seriously anymore... :)

Yeah, our answers were mostly the same, but yours were much better. :)
