SAN FRANCISCO -- Johnny Cueto's elbow checked out just fine. The dreadlocks, too.
"We did not MRI his hair," cracked Giants general manager Bobby Evans.
Bearded reliever Sergio Romo saw Cueto before the festivities at AT&T Park on Thursday and welcomed him with some good-natured advice: Get your smile ready, because with those signature dreads you're about to be recognized all over the Bay Area.
Cueto, 29, is ready for the attention as the Giants' new $130 million man and ready to help San Francisco win another even-year World Series following the team's titles in 2010, '12 and '14.
