Tim Locastro has shown speed and the ability to play the outfield this Spring while slashing .289/.396/.511 with 1 HR and 8 RBIs in 23 games. Darin Ruf was slowed by a wrist injury in the early part of Spring. In 11 games, Darin slashed .165/.267/.233 with no homers and 1 RBI.
The move rewards a player who earned a spot this Spring while giving the roster more flexibility. Last year the Mets were hampered by two players who could only DH in Ruf and Vogelbach.
