It might already be too late to say pick him up, but Johnny Cueto sure set the world on fire in his major league debut. Dominican Diaper Dandy indeed.
No hitter into the seventh, allowing just a solo homer to Justin Upton for his lone hit and lone run through seven innings.
10 K's. 10 friggin' K's.
The most impressive part of his performance was how much he pounded the zone and kept his pitch count down. Young pitchers tend to tread lightly, but Cueto was a go-getter.
If you missed out of Cueto, there is a consolation prize. Edinson Volquez, the Reds' No. 5 starter. Pick up Volquez now if you have room -- especially if you missed the boat on Cueto.
Emack.
