I'm rooting for Cecil - I wasn't particularly enthused about having him in the opening day rotation, but I think he can be a solid contributor.
He's 24 with 400 MLB innings with a 1.4 WHIP in the league's toughest division. He's not a write-off or filler, he's a guy that has the experience in the league and knows that his window is closing - a legitimate breakout candidate.
(To be clear, by breakout I mean a guy that could prove he's good enough to have a long career in the Show, not an ace or a Cy Young guy)
