I'd keep him as a starter for now. Give him 100 pitch count and let him go for a month and see how is innings are going. With his control he should be fairly efficient so I think he'll still give you solid starts. If he gives you 5 or 6 innings every start, he's still more valuable to you than late inning guy. If he's only give you 4 or 5, putting him the pen will give him a boost to his stuff and you'll have a really good late inning setup guy or closer.

I'd also consider the rest of your team. You said your bullpen is already have a good bullpen so their isn't a need there. Do you have a prospect ready to take a spot in the rotation? If not, than to me it's a no brainer to let him start and see how he handles it and then base your decision on that.
