Johnny Cueto still doesn't like third basemen
Johnny Cueto threw his first HBP of the 2009 season yesterday, plunking Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez. Last season (his first in the big leagues), Cueto threw 14 plunks, and 8 of them landed on batters who were playing third base. So, 60% of Cueto's career plunks have been thrown at third basemen.
Also yesterday, Jamey Wright hit Kelly Shoppach with a pitch, making him the 25th catcher plunked by Wright. Wright is the active leader in plunking catchers, ahead of Tim Wakefield's 21 catchers plunked.
