Former Royals starter faces old team in spring training

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

These days, you can find Johnny Cueto here, standing on a mound inside Scottsdale Stadium, plying his craft for a new team, honing the shimmy in new surroundings. He has traded Royal blue for the orange and black of the San Francisco Giants. His trademark braids hang from a black skull cap. He has ditched the reigning world champions for the franchise that has won three of the last six.
