Decent Mets trivia heard on the radio

I head this on XM befor getting disgusted with the game.

Which Mets reliever from the 1970s started as a position player -- even playing in a major league game -- before converting to pitching?

No cheating if you heard it on the radio!

Skip Lockwood was an infielder. I don't know if he ever played that position in the majors though.

Wow. Three minutes for Yancy to claim that one. Correct!

Locoweed came up and failed as an infielder, went down to the minors, came up and failed as a starting pitcher, went down to the mnors, came up and flourished as a reliever.
