St. Louis radio intimated that the organization believes there is almost no chance that Gast is used as a LHRP due to a lack of a breaking ball that's considered an out pitch, whereas Lyons is thought of as destined for that role because he has two breaking pitches that profile as put away offerings.
The caveat on Cecil is a lack of sample size as a reliever, about 45 IP. But if you actually look at the comps as relievers, he strikes out far more batters while walking far less than Rzepczynski. In fact, it's not particularly close.
The obvious concern is whether or not that will hold up, but his peripherals suggest that he isn't merely getting by on luck at this point, although he's definitely been fortunate.
