Johnny Cueto, SP — What to make of Cueto? On one hand, his last postseason appearance was a dominant two-hitter. But he also struggled throughout most of his half-season stint with the Royals. There are always teams willing to gamble on big names: enter the Angels.

[Adam]

Please no

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

No thank you.

 

There are two better options out there if we are going to open the check book for pitching.

[laagamer]

...for cheap I wouldn't be against it

[ten ocho recon scout]

Personally id take him...for th right price...but it wont be the right price, so no

[Homebrewer]

In before AO with Starry Eyed Arte reference.

[marcosantinia12]

Nope. 

[Chris]

He's like a Dominican Hamilton that pitches without the drugs.

[floplag]

we have a lot of needs to address before looking at ANY SP.  

[Chimi]

I say no simply because I don't want to watch his ridiculous pitching motion all season long.

[Homebrewer]

Same article thinks Lackey to Texas.

 

 

 

 

 

Horse.

Isn't it true that Cueto has one of the best ERA+'s of any pitcher over the last few years? I wouldn't just write him off, especially if his price tag is diminished due to his poor performance with K.C.

[Homebrewer]

NL to AL move was at least part of the problem for him in KC.

[ettin]

Although I agree with wopphil that we should inquire and go if the price is right it just seems like this article was written team by team and the author just sort of "best guessed" a FA fit.

[Homebrewer]

Of course...but Cueto kinda struck me as someone that could wind up here.

I'm ambivalent..

[Mark68]

Johnny Cueto, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price Is Right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only if the price is right.

[Docwaukee]

prior to the trade, Cueto was set to be the second highest paid pitcher this offseason and he had been very very good in a bandbox.  Albeit in the NL.  If he's truly healthy, he definitely someone I would kick the tires on.  

 

Richards needed to step up and be the leader of the staff this year.  While he was pretty solid and will likely continue to get better, he doesn't have that aura of being a go to guy who can anchor a staff.  

 

If the team thinks they need more of an anchor for the staff, then Cueto could be a solid buy low candidate.

Probably true, their are more pastures there. If Kentucky had an MlB team, Lackey would be their franchise player, or stud.

I heard that Lackey only wants to go to the Team Jason Hayward is on.

sounds like youre pitching a character for saturday night live

[Troll Daddy]

I don't see the FO spending big money of a free agent #1 pitcher ... although, I think they should.

[ukyah]

i'm surprised AW is so down on cueto. why? as good as he's been for several years, he's somehow underrated. he's been, easily, one of the best pitchers in baseball, a true #1.

I'd personally rather see the Angels sign Jordan Zimmermann or Kenta Maeda. Although, with Cueto there's no loss of a draft pick.

Fair enough, I only want to watch the team Mike Trout is on.

We should run a poll about whether the Angels can navigate this post season without losing a draft pick.
