So, how many posters think Cueto with 2 Major League starts, should be in the Top 5?

Can't wait for this either.

nope, just pointing out how many clueless idiots run around here at SBR. Peeps think they know about the current topic, but they don't.

Not sure what you mean by top 5 really . A guy can average getting 7 runs a game when he starts , bullpen above average and the closer getting the job done . Cueto could pitch great all year and be one of the memorable rookies . Why would you doubt this rookie ? If he played for the RSox or Yankees he would be looked at differently ?
He may not get as many wins because of the Reds bullpen and lack of run production . This reflects on his numbers . Instead of being up 5 -0 with no pressure he may be in alot of pressure situations in tighter games or playing from behind . Who knows , there are more factors than just the #s come seasons end .

The guy has electric stuff , why not root for him , he could be the rookie of the year in the NL . My brother drafted him in fantasy , so I root for him .

he isn't proven yet, thats the point.

Whoever thinks he's the 5th best pitcher in the Major Leagues is a moron. Top 50 MAYBE. Kid should turn out to be an excellent pitcher, especially considering how young he is, but he's played 2 games.

OP's point is a good one. People are unbelievably premature. Best example is in the NFL where a rookie is a bust after seven or eight games of not lighting the world on fire.
