At times, that means that you're going have some hiccups at the major league level, Stearns told SNY's Andy Martino last week, though he was alluding more toward getting the likes of Brett Baty and Mark Vientos more at-bats. And even in New York, we have to be OK with that. We have to understand that, at times, we're going to play young players, and they're not going to succeed immediately. We have to be patient and if we are, we'll be rewarded for that.
Stearns has always preached versatility in his players. It's what helped him take a lower-market team like the Brewers to the playoffs in consecutive seasons. He believes that by utilizing the talent in their farm system, the Mets can find success as well.
