Absolutely no chance Matt Harvey is going to want to give up W's. Even on a business level, Boras would never ever allow this without causing an insane stink. Gee to the pen should help them assuming his arm is up to it.
Solution to the lack of W's. Start Gee, let him go 3-4 innings. Then have Harvey finish it off and get the W.
It shouldn't even really be a debate.
Thor shouldn't be in Vegas and his upside is much more than Gee.
Trade Gee if they can, if not, someone will get hurt.
He's 22 in A+ which sounds about right, but the way he's excelled I'd think they'd push him to see how he reacts.
Is there something unique about him or relievers in general where that's a bad idea?

Their handling of him has been very strange. He's already on the 40 man with a crunch coming up in the off-season so pushing him now makes the most sense. Why he stayed ALL of 2015 in Savannah is beyond me. His command continues to be an issue but it likely always will be.

I like that.

Yeah, that's even better. I think that keeps innings low, keeps gee in the position that he's at his best doing, which is starting. He's just not that good of a reliever. Terry said he looked "awkward", and i'm not talking about every harvey start, just mix and match between each of the members of the rotation. Harvey even said he wants to pitch every 5th day, and terry/sandy said there may be some starts where he just goes the minimum number of innings possible. So this would be a way to make that work, while preserving Gee's trade value.

yeah, let's get 10 starting pitchers and have two pitch each game with one closer.
7 innings 6 hits 1 run 2 walks 5 k's
Conforto 1-3, K
Smith 2-4, 2b
Stuart 0-4, 2 k's (insane)

Rosario 0-4 K
All that and I feel like he's only just entering a hot streak.
Granderson is 12th/25 amongst RF in wOBA and 12/25 in wRC+. I know you are talking about the NL, and he's been good but he's been "solid" more than awesome.
Black had been scheduled to advance to Las Vegas and pitch on Sunday.
He's been one of their better players and has been very solid. Awesome is just a little much for me. 21 homer, 21 double pace is solid not eyepopping. Last year he still hit 20 homers with 27 doubles.
Also, assuming he is about to go on a hot streak, 2 homeruns this week puts him on pace for 30 homeruns all of a sudden. I could easily see him ripping off a few more homeruns.
Anyways. Fair enough. He's been very good.
Slightly OT, I'm pretty pissed at Dan because he got the idea of Gomez on this roster in my head. Talk about a guy who add some energy to everyday lineup.
Niese's arm has almost no chance of being an asset in the bullpen.
That's Lagares. But I think I've read it before.
