I'm glad to see Rice getting some starts. He had some dominating numbers out of the pen, and he's not at all old for the league. So it seemed silly for him to be sitting on the sidelines while the only starter who was doing anything at Kanny was Cortes.

 

I assume the Sox see him as a future BP arm because of his stature, but he should be used as a starter for as long as possible at the minor league level.
