I don't care about the actual spring training stats, but with guys coming off of injury I do care about how they appear to be physically.

Matt Harvey is hitting 91, 92 on his fastball and getting hammered as a result because his secondary stuff isn't at the level of a guy like deGrom who was still dominant early in the year last year even when his velocity took a while to come back.

The Mets have 7 legit MLB starters. They can't afford to give games away in a tough division just to keep Harvey happy. Put Gsellman and Lugo in the rotation and let Harvey stay in extended spring training until his velocity is at a point where he can thrive on the big stage. There's no point in having starting pitching depth if you aren't going to use it.
