Is Porcello a set-up man?

Doing a quick search of my 2 Yahoo leagues, Reyes, Price, Gamel & Porcello are the only ones mentioned available. I have Price in my H2H league & he's owned by someone else in our Roto league. The other 3 are on the wire.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would they stick their top 20 year old prospect in the bullpen when he needs consistent innings to develop?

Would they possibly use him in long relief while working him into the rotation later in the season?

Most likely he's headed to AA or AAA to start, but could be called up by midseason because the Detroit #5 options are bad.
