In a fan-contributed piece on the site, the writer reviews Harvey's stats, and here's his final verdict:
"Overall, I do think Matt Harvey can and will be a starting pitcher in the major leagues. The fact that his stats were not nearly as good in AA as they were in A ball though, says to me he probably needs to pitch at least part of the 2012 season for the Mets AAA Buffalo Bisons team."
