Reds sizzling right-hander Johnny Cueto is being touted as the best pitcher in baseball these days. He's not going to get an argument from the man he sees in the mirror.
"I would say, yes, definitely yes," he told the Dayton Daily News. "My numbers have to talk for me. Every time I go to the mound I do my job. And I do my job to get the best numbers."
Cueto is all but certain barring injury to have his $10 million club option picked up after this season. He is destined thereafter to land a far more lucrative contract with the Reds or some other team in free agency.
