Cincinnati Reds links - Luis Castillo is already an ace

Johnny Cueto was once the best pitcher in the National League Central. Well, twice. He was the best pitcher in the division in a once upon a time sense, as his performances in both 2012 and 2014 pretty well distanced him from the likes of Adam Wainwright and the rest of his competition in that regard.

Having the best pitcher in the division again would both be nice and help the Cincinnati Reds dig themselves out of the cellar of the Central for the first time in forever, obviously. Given how awful the collective whole of the pitching staff has been over the last few years, it would help to correct the single most glaring problem the roster has dealt with during that time, and would go a long way towards letting fans in outfield seats avoid having to dodge dingers every five minutes during games.
