David Stearns’ gamble on young infielders has kept Mets buzzing

Ronny Mauricio blasted a monstrous home run on Saturday in Colorado that left the Mets buzzing in the third base dugout.

Weeks earlier it was Brett Baty’s offensive flurry after a recall from Triple-A Syracuse that energized the team.

And when the season started, Luisangel Acuña’s speed and pesky plate approach were notable factors in the team’s success.

All three players are infielders who are or were regarded among the organization’s best prospects.
