Is Johnny Cueto a good 5 starter?
-
I'm not a good hitter, and a 600 player, but i love seeing Cueto on the mound, i hit him pretty easily. Good thing i live near Cincinnati, a lot of Reds fans using him.

His Slider hangs, but if you learn how to minimize his flaws, he can be a good #5 due to his excellent cutter/change and delivery.
Yah, gotta keep it on the outskirts of the zone and get ahead, to get the best out of him. Slider is his worst pitch but can work well with the other off-speed if you're doing well.

I just faced Schmidt and rocked him for 5 in the 1st... So i believe you that he is struggling lol
He has been hit or miss, command on off speed is bad. My top 3 are Kluber, Lodolo, and Orel. I was looking for a 4th and might wait for Maddux but Cueto is an option
How many breadsticks can I get for 7k, breadstick

I actually like Cueto. If you can mix his pitches you can easily keep your opponent off the board. I pitched 5 innings with him had 7ks and one hit.

I'd rep Johnny regardless of how his card was, and compared to other SPs it's not the best, but if you mix it up with him he's more than capable of getting guys out.

He could potentially be my long reliever. Anyone that used him is he any good? Or should I just sell him?
Don’t sell him now...if a big collection hits, and prime cards are necessary (likely), his price will shoot up.
Use him now and see if you like him. If you don’t, sell him when Honus (or whoever) drops.

As many as you want...well we are only open for takeout

My experience is that he is trash.
-
Who is a good 5th starter? I was thinking about Cueto or Blue and use them as long relievers.
-
He's one of the better cheap starters I've used this year. In fact, the only other cheap SP I'd take over him is probably Vida Blue.
But then again, I'm not a World Series/HOF difficulty-level player.
