Johnny Cueto's winter ball depends on Reds

If pitcher Johnny Cueto wants to pitch in winter ball this offseason, he'll have to check with the Reds first. The threshold for extreme fatigue is set at 170 innings during a regular season. Cueto pitched 171 innings in 2009. When asked about whether pitching in winter ball or not during the offseason on Saturday night, "I don't know, maybe in December," Cueto said, "I'm going to get rest, but I'm happy with how I'm feeling strong. My arm is 100 percent now."

Cueto spent two weeks in August with right shoulder inflammation, which was created by arm fatigue. It seems the Reds may not let Cueto pitch this winter.
