SCOTT RICE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Fried Rice: Has Collins Burned Out His Lefty Reliever?
If you didn’t know any better, you would think the Mets only had two relievers in their bullpen; closer Bobby Parnell and lefthander Scott Rice.

Five weeks into the season, four different lefties have come out of the pen for the Mets and the club still has Tim Byrdak and Pedro Feliciano as candidates for later in the season. The top brass has also talked glowingly about Jack Leathersich, so don’t be surprised if he makes an appearance later in the year...
Scott Rice Leading The Bullpen In Appearances, Reliability And Effectiveness
When you glance at this morning’s Mets pitching leaders, you see two names that belong in Matt Harvey and Bobby Parnell.

L.A. Dodgers bullpen decision: Mattingly picks Lindblom over Rice
Of all the final cuts from MLB camps, the termination of 2011 York (PA) Revolution southpaw Scott Rice was about as disappointing as any.
