For sure, Escobar is now here to help him out and step back in only if things go south in an unexpectedly dramatic way.
We all know now that Locastro suffered an "injury" on Sunday to make room. He's certainly a luxury as a PR but he's also been one they've used a lot lately. You've got to think there will be a lot of movement on this roster over the next couple of months as players are shifted around and Vientos comes up. The Vientos-for-Vogelbach swap sure looks more likely than ever though even with the key HR last night.

If DH continues to be a black hole, I expect Voggy will be gone sooner than later for Vientos. If Voggy can produce, my guess is they'll push it til June to keep control of Vientos for the extra year and maintain the extra layer of depth. extremely disappointing that Mauricio continues to play SS. He's blocked throughout the entire IF and so the reading has to be trade bait, which considering what he's done with the bat in AAA may be a HUGE mistake by the mets. He'd be my pick for Canha replacement in LF next season, but we MUST GET HIM REPS.

I've likely said this before but...Escobar is a "utility" guy similar to Luis G: Luis G has the OBP but no power; Escobar has the power but no OBP...but both can play virtually anywhere...
Escobar innings by position: 3B: 6022; SS: 2551; 2B: 909; OF: 275 (includes all 3 positions with the majority in LF); 1B: 126; P: 1; C: 1;

Kinda funny the way that the Mets hierarchy works...they demoted Baty and that is when they finally give Ronny Mauricio a start at Third base

Mauricio played 2 in a row at 3rd, while Baty rode the bench in both games...I wonder if Baty is going to get some LF work at AAA...
not sure how "reliable" this guy is but:
