If the Jays had a rotation of Halladay, X-Legitimately Good Veteran Pitcher, Shaun Marcum, Ricky Romero and Brett Cecil would I consider that good enough to contend? I would have to say no. I think he's good enough to be a 6th starter, that guy in the bullpen or AAA who is the best option to fill in for maybe even a month if necessary. Maybe even be your 4th best starter for a couple weeks. But I think if you're team is expecting him to make 25+ starts and not be a real drain on your bullpen, then you are expecting to much. I could be wrong about this of course, and they could get lucky with Cecil. But I would prefer they don't rely on getting lucky with the starters.
Not to say that I think that will always be the case, he seems like he's got a chance to be a pretty good starter for years in the future. I just don't think there is a real good chance it's going to be next year.
