Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Sunday that Brett Cecil will be the team's closer to start the year.
It was the expected choice, but the confirmation gives fantasy owners some appreciated clarity. The decision also affects Aaron Sanchez, who will now certainly move forward as a starter. Cecil, a lefty, had a 2.70 ERA and 76/27 K/BB ratio over 53 1/3 innings for the Jays last season.- per RotoWorld
Yeah, I posted this a few hours ago over in the Toronto thread...not sure why the M's should care.

My second cousin's wife's uncle's brother in law knows a guy that is involved in such matters...or maybe it is possible that I thought I was in the Toronto thread after I took a break to work.
Either way, Cecil is the closer and the M's don't have to concern themselves any longer.
Six more scoreless innings for Taijuan Walker tonight, two hits, one walk and six strikeouts. He has not allowed a run in 18 spring innings, six hits and 19 strikeouts. I wonder if McClendon has finally seen enough to name him the 5th starter?
Honestly, though, this is likely all coach/front office speak to try to make sure everyone is competing as hard as possible. I'm confident that Walker has the job and Elias will go to Tacoma for a while until an injury pops up in the rotation.
A guy with a great changeup and awful control goes to the Rays? No way!
I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night.
That said, he's not going to be long for the rotation if Smyly & Cobb stay on track. I think his fastball/cambio would play up out of the pen though. His breaking balls are garbage
Seems like Nelson Cruz is seeing the ball pretty well now. Granted, these 4 HRs have come away from Safeco, but this second one in LA last night is a doozy. I don't think it ever got more than 40 ft off the ground.
Remember that crappy start by James Paxton the other day? Well, the Rangers appealed a scoring play which had been ruled an error, and MLB agreed with them, adding FIVE more earned runs to Paxton's total.
