Johnny Cueto, Starting Pitcher, Cincinnati Reds
The hard-throwing 22-year-old has been the talk of Reds camp, allowing one run and striking out eight batters in nine exhibition innings. Cueto has been so dominant that veteran-friendly manager Dusty Baker has suggested that Mock Draft Central`s No. 24 ranked prospect could open the season in the Cincinnati rotation.

In three minor league stops last season, Cueto won 12 games and put up a 3.07 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 170 strikeouts in 161.1 innings pitched -- his spring success isn`t a fluke, the guy can pitch.

Cueto has been selected in 83.3 percent of NFBC drafts with an ADP of 398.77.

Well I guess it was expected....Cueto FLEEEEW up the draft boards. I've been consistenly getting Cueto in every draft I've participated in, including 5 NFBC satellites.

In February, it was the 30th round, then I moved him up into the mid-20's due to "the talk" starting. By the time we drafted over the weekend, the secret was revealed to all......he went as high as the 15th round in MANY leagues. Once he was selected in one draft, it was like a domino effect. I didn't realize he was such a hot commodity now and I missed out on him in both the main event and the NFBC Auction.............which reminds me, ask Tony Cincotta about Freddy Garcia
