Date	Question	Answer
2011-03-08 14:00:00	Which AL East youngster is the better bet for 2011: Brett Cecil or Brian Matusz? (PepeShady from StP)	Gotta like both, but when the stats look similar I have to trust the scouts, who say that Matusz is the more likely ace among this pair. Cecil hasn't been able to duplicate his minor league ground ball and home run rates yet in the Majors, and he's in a home park where that can hurt... (Cory Schwartz)
2010-12-07 13:00:00	keeper league, one spot left -- Wade Davis or Brett Cecil? (JB from NYC)	I would keep Davis for the future upside, even if they may be the same guy in 2011. (Marc Normandin)
2010-05-05 13:00:00	I'm in a shallow 8 team league with some friends. I drafter Chipper, but grabbed Headley on the waiver wire. Do I drop Chipper and grab a pitcher? Jaime Garcia, Brad Penny, Phil Hughes, Brett Cecil, and Wade Davis are all available. Bonus round: I already snagged CJ Wilson off the wire. Do you like any of the guys I listed better than CJ? Thanks! (Gregjitsu from Cal)	I like C.J. Wilson a lot. I think he's like Buehrle with more strikeouts (more walks too, though). I wonder why he started out as a reliever, because he's got the stuff and repertoire to be a starter. Hughes, Cecil or Davis would all be worthwhile IMO. Cecil will probably give you the fewest wins though, when the Jays remember they are the Jays. (Marc Normandin)
2009-06-24 13:00:00	It seems as if the Jays have recovered from their hiccup following their early season hot-start. If the standings look the same once Doc Halladay returns next week, what odds would you give the Jays of hanging tight in the playoff race through to September? Making the playoffs? (rawagman from Toronto)	I'm still not a believer in the long-term viability of that offense. I also don't know if they'll continue to have success with Ricky Romero and Brett Cecil patching the rotation (though I hope they do, because it's fun to watch). (Steven Goldman)
2009-05-07 14:00:00	Any opinion on Brett Cecil's ceiling? (Dennis from Chicago)	4, maybe 3. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-02-10 14:00:00	Hi Christina my friend read me my heroscope about a month ago and it said I will recieve very good news on Feb. 10th. I haven't got any yet. Could you tell me something awesome about the Jays? (dogtothedog from Toronto)	You're still tied for first place? Seriously, though, there are players to look forward to coming into view. J.P. Arencibia and Travis Snider, certainly, maybe Brett Cecil and Ricky Romero... we can all hope Aaron Hill's good to go, right, and there's nothing that say he can't right now this instant... OK, I'm stretching here. A little less than eight hours to go, maybe it's something non-baseball you're supposed to hear. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-11-19 13:00:00	In Verducci terms, how long should it be expected to take to convert a young releiver into a starter capable of throwing 180+IP? I'm thinking especially of Brett Cecil here, although I have also heard of this being attempted by other clubs with highly esteemed prospects. Thank you (rawagman from TO)	That's a pretty extreme case, but I'd say two years. He's either going to handle the workload, or not. (Will Carroll)
2008-07-22 13:00:00	What are your thoughts on Jhoulys Chacin and Brett Cecil? Are they as good as their numbers suggest and do you think they will be starters or relievers in the majors? (HunterH from Houston)	I think Cecil profiles well as a No. 3 or 4 starter. As for the other guy... I talk to a scout about Chacin in tommorow's edition of Future Shock. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-07-07 13:00:00	Brett Cecil has been posting some fine numbers at high A and AA this season (67.1 ip, 57h, 21bb, 71k, 2.38 GO/AO) - yet I never hear him mentioned among the better pitching prospects. Has his stuff gone downhill since becoming a full time starter? (nellybud from NS)	He's a good prospect, but not an elite one. He has a deep arsenal and really knows how to pitch, but it's good stuff, not overwhelming stuff. (Kevin Goldstein)
