BRETT CECIL RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Great Big 2012 Blue Jays Forecast Series, Part 12: Brett Cecil

With spring training officially just under a month away, we continue with a series of projections on what the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays might look like. Each day (don’t hold me to this), I will profile a 2012 Blue Jays starter, closing with a set of numbers based on my (usually positive) expectations. We continue to move along the projected rotation today with a look at lefty Brett...

Blue Jays Weekend Recap: Jo-Jo Goes Bye-Bye; JPA Powers Up, Cecil Shuts ‘em Down

Apologies for the lack of recaps on the individual games this weekend – I have been away without access to internet outside of my phone. That being said, I’ve caught up on the Blue Jays games that took place this weekend against the Texas Rangers, and I think there are some things that are probably worth talking about: 1) It wasn’t exactly a surprise that Jo-Jo...

Blue Jays Promote Brett Cecil; Send Down Zach Stewart

In a move that had been anticipated for a couple of weeks now, the Blue Jays have deemed Brett Cecil fit for MLB duty, thus ending Zach Stewart’s cup of tea here in the big leagues. We won’t have to wait very long to see Cecil’s post-demotion, either; the lefty will make his debut against the Phillies on Canada Day. For Cecil, the promotion begins his road to redemption...

Blue Jays Minor League Watch: Brett Cecil Throws CG Shutout, Arm Strength Returning?

When Brett Cecil was slotted as the #3 pitcher in the Blue Jays rotation at the start of the season, I think a number of fans out there (myself included) expected something of a regression from the success of ’10, where Cecil posted a 4.03 ERA and a 2.17 K/BB ratio en route to a 15-win season (not that wins mean a whole lot). Opponents hit just .261 against Cecil last year...

Spring Recap: Brett Cecil hit hard, early; Blue Jays and Yankees settle for draw

It’s not something you see outside of spring training and all-star games, but the Jays-Yankees played to a 5-5 draw today in a game where all the offense pretty much came against starting pitching. The Blue Jays’ projected third starter Brett Cecil, who has gone under the radar a bit this spring, was knocked around in his outing, especially early on. Facing the heart...

Brett Cecil becomes Majors' winningest pitcher against 2010 Yankees in Blue Jay rout; A-Rod hits 30-HR plateau for 13th straight season

It may say Managing General Partner next to Hal Steinbrenner's name, but it is in fact 24-year-old Brett Cecil who actually owns the New York Yankees. Cecil led the Blue Jays to a 8-3 romp of New York, picking up his Major League-leading fourth win against the Yankees in 2010 and improving to 4-0 in five starts against the Bombers this season. The win was no surprise whatsoever...
