As a Mets fan I can say that Dillon Gee is not very good.
Average stuff with really average results. He's basically the definition of a typical 4.50 FIP pitcher. That's kind of the definition of most of the guys in the Mets rotation.
He reminds me of Rick Reed sans movement on his pitches and Bobby Jones w/o the control. The reason I like and intentionally overrate the kid is
a) HE'S YOUNG AND SMART. There is no reason he cannot improve and
b) Jones was a top prospect back then and Reed was a replacement player. Gee is somewhere in between where he doesn't really have much pressure on him, heck he can be a solid 4 or 5 (maybe a #3 if everything breaks well). No one has said he's going to be an ace-20 game winner here, and the extent of my man-love for Gee is saying he can win RotY if he can put a good streak of wins together.
Didn't watch the game but it sounded like his control was off and vs. that lineup in that park with his stuff, he can't expect to be successful. Gee seems to be tiring out now, but you don't automatically discredit his first 2-3 months and focus on his last month.
