Date	Question	Answer
2017-09-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Thank you for doing this chat Nick. I have to cut one of these three guys (Daniel Norris, Matt Harvey or Matt Strahm) to make my roster legal going into the off season. Who you cutting in preparation for next year? Your thoughts on the two guys you keep for the next year? Thank you! (MatternK from Point Mugu, CA)	Thanks for your question, MatternK! It's depressing, but I think I'm cutting Matt Harvey. At this point, I feel like we have to assume that thoracic outlet syndrome surgery is absolutely devastating, and Harvey's pitching since he developed TOS symptoms / post-surgery supports that position. I've always been a Norris believer and think he could still figure things out, even if it is out of the bullpen. Strahm I don't know quite as well, and the knee injury isn't encouraging but...well, he has a chance to be good and I'm not sure Harvey does anymore. (Nick Schaefer)
2017-05-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Any thoughts on Matt Harvey? Does he ever become a all star again? (Jason from ny)	It's getting harder and harder to think he ever returns to his 2015 form. The strikeouts down, walks are up, velocity is down, and the ball is flying out of the park on him. He won't be this bad forever, but if I had to put money on it...I don't think he ever becomes an All Star again. (Eric Roseberry)
2017-05-08 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Matt Harvey and Jesse Hahn were teammates at Fitch High School in CT. Who has the highest ceiling now? (JM from CT)	It's still Harvey for me, but I like what I've seen from Hahn this year. He's healthy, which is nice. (Mark Barry)
2017-04-28 13:30:00 (link to chat)	Anything in watching Matt Harvey to think he's not just a 3 now? (starter, not role) (Sidd from NJ)	He's recovering from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which we haven't really seen a guy of his stature, at his age do, so I guess the thing to hang your hat on is that there's a longer timetable to recovering fully and he's just working his way through that process. There's so much we don't know. Of course throwing him the day after a hard workout won't help. (Craig Goldstein)
2017-02-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Any early predictions for a Matt Harvey trade next offseason (asssuming he's healthy and plays well)? I could see him going to Boston for deal around Devers or Texas for deal around Tavares (Carlos from Westchester)	I think Boston probably holds off on a trade after SaleAPalooza, if only because they seem to fetishize their prospects as much as national writers do. Texas makes some sense actually, since they have prospects and they have the need. I think Harvey's going to have a strong year, though, and I think the Mets will probably get a top 10 prospect for him. I wouldn't count out a rebuilding team like the Phillies trying to take a leap ahead by shedding prospect excess as a result. (Trevor Strunk)
