Jeffrey Howard Cirillo (born September 23, 1969 in Pasadena, California) is a third baseman in Major League Baseball who currently plays for the Milwaukee Brewers. He bats and throws right handed.

Before the 2005 season Cirillo signed to his second stint with Milwaukee. After attending the University of Southern California, he was selected by the Brewers in the 11th round of the 1991 amateur draft and played for them from 1994-99. He also has played with the Colorado Rockies (2000-01), Seattle Mariners (2002-03) and San Diego Padres (2004).

With the Brewers, Cirillo collected a .300 average or better for three seasons, including a career-high .326 in 1999. The same year, he added 198 hits (also a career-high) with 15 home runs and 88 RBI. His most productive season came in 2000 with the Rockies, when he posted career-highs in RBI (115), runs (111) and doubles (53); finished with 195 hits, and matched his personal-best .326 average.

In 2001, Cirillo hit .312 with 83 RBI and a career-high 17 home runs. After two troubling seasons with the Mariners, he joined the Padres in 2004, but he broke his right index finger trying to bunt at spring training, and was out most of the season.

Again with Milwaukee in 2005, Cirillo can provide a good defense. He has a very strong arm, his range is still decent, and he charges bunts very well. He may not drive the ball through the gaps the way he once did, but he plays hard and is a good influence in the clubhouse.

In a 11-season career, Cirillo is a .297 hitter with 103 home runs and 654 RBI in 1350 games. He was named an All-Star in 1997 and 2000.

Jeff Cirillo is #6 for the Brewers which is half of Bellhorn #12, who is the basis of what is known as the Whistlesiren Theory.
