Giants' Cueto has a stong showing

SACRAMENTO -- Johnny Cueto was solid enough to home plate Wednesday night in his final spring tuneup, but he was positively electric to first base.

As Giants fans are soon to learn, there are many dimensions to Cueto's game beyond his pitch arsenal and array of funky windups. For starters, he may have the best move to first by any right-hander in baseball -- possibly one of the best ever — and is one of the stingiest in the game at surrendering stolen bases.Cueto astoundingly picked off three runners in five innings and another runner was easily gunned down attempting to swipe second base by catcher Buster Posey.
