Dunedin, Fla. — Blue Jays LHP Brett Cecil faced live hitters for the first time in about three-plus weeks on Saturday during a Triple-A game at the Mattick Complex. Cecil went one inning allowing one run on two hits and struck out one on 15-pitches, 12 for strikes. Everything felt great I threw all my pitches,” said Cecil afterwards, “I got out of what I would expect for a first outing.” Right now the main thing is that I feel good,” Cecil continued, “My location is getting better and my rhythms getting better.” As to his strength and velocity Cecil said, “I just talked to the trainer and I am actually better than I though I was going to be. Everything’s good so we are going to do it again Tuesday.”
