I think you pitch him #5 until you have a better option for #5. The better option then forces your hand.
Given his age and potential, I think your hand is one of the following: 1) bullpen to buy time, 2) bullpen with the intent of changing his role, 3) try to trade him.
In my opinion, options 1 and 3 are preferable to option 2 because option 2 guts his value.
