Rice never should have been in the majors last year. He was barely advanced from AA. He can be very good and needs at least a half season in AAA this year and probably the entire season. His minor league progression has been very good.

Also, I’ll admit to be intrigued by having a third catcher on the team, almost unheard of these days.
