The Five Rules of Brandon Belt
by Grant Brisbee on Apr 7, 2011 7:21 AM PDT

It’s not as if the Giants are doing anything wrong when it comes to Brandon Belt. It's the first week of the season. No one's panicking. The biggest decision was when to bring him up in the first place, but now that the Giants have already pulled that lever, here are some ground rules for his continued handling:
Rule #1 - Talk about Brandon Belt whenever you can.
Before I signed for a package today, I talked to the UPS guy at my door for a few minutes about Brandon Belt. His swing, his fielding, his patience. The driver faked a phone call to get away, but I think he’s a better person now.
Rule #2 - TALK ABOUT BRANDON BELT WHENEVER YOU CAN!
I followed the driver’s truck for a block, and stopped him at his next stop. I could tell he wasn’t a true believer. I handed him a pamphlet and told him to go to a couple different pro-Belt websites. He assured me he got the point and thanked me for my vigilance.
Rule #3 - When he goes into his first slump, weather the storm
The Giants did this when Buster Posey complemented his insanely hot start with a stretch of play in which he looked quite mortal. While we know he was doing it to throw amateur Mulder and Scullys off his otherworldly trail, there was no guarantee that the Giants would know that as well.
And, hey, look at that: Brandon Belt already had his first slump. He had two hits yesterday, but you never know when another slump is around the corner, waiting to pounce, slump-fangs first. It’s really, really tough to separate when a guy doesn’t belong and when a guy is just having bad luck. This is why bar fights start up every night about John Bowker. Well, they should. But Belt isn’t chasing pitches outside of the strike zone. He isn’t swinging through the same pitch over and over, exposing a hole in his swing. He’s grounding out, he’s flying out, and he’s occasionally striking out, but his approach is sound. Ignore the batting average and stick with him. It seems like the Giants are of a similar mind.
Rule #4 - Keep him at first, regardless of the other permutations that are possible
The more clomping that goes around in the outfield corners, the more likely people will clamor for a shift in the defensive alignment. And when Cody Ross comes back, that will leave three players for two spots. Belt is a pretty good athlete, and there’s a pretty good chance he could handle an outfield corner spot. If he was drafted out of high school as a pitcher, his arm is probably pretty nifty.
But I’m not a fan of learning a player learning a new position in his first month in the major leagues. There's no tangible evidence that it affects performance at the plate, but I'll just light up a gas lantern and side with the armchair psychologists on this one. My next post: THAT CLOSER MENTALITY AND WHY YOU NEED IT.
I don't like having a position that isn't based on logic -- just ignore the past eight years of my blogging, please -- but I want Belt as a first baseman. That's what he's comfortable with, he's good at it, and I feel like it would just confuse things to move him around.
Rule #5 - He doesn't get sent down until he's hitting .130 with a K/BB ratio of 41/4
He belongs. This is the kind of my-eyes-done-told-me nonsense that leads to Eugenio Velez starting after a hot streak. This is exactly the sort of anecdotal observation masquerading as rational analysis that usually leads to 600-word screeds at this very site. So, yeah, I'm a bit of a hypocrite. But Belt is a major league hitter right now. Feel it in my bones, I do.
Maybe this is just the rambling of a fanboy who wants desperately to watch his shiny new toy do well. Fair enough. Belt stays, though. He's kept at first, he's allowed to hit through his slumps, and he stays in the majors. If I had to guess, I'd say the Giants agree on all counts.

BB had better start wearing the batting helmet . . .
not just in the field but everywhere he goes. Tall people hit their heads, especially when they are looking down to talk to small people. The subsequent discussion concussions could take irrelevant points off his meaningless batting average, unless you adhere to the Yogi Berra theory, in which case it will put misleading points on.
In any case, the helmet will make him look more like Olerud, a clear virtue in the long run.

Regardless of what you say, Belt should be moved to center field with Torres going to left, Burrell to shortstop, Tejada to Ikea for permanent breakfast, Huff back to first and someone else to right. This is the only reasonable solution to the shortstop problem.

He needs to go back to AAA to work on those two just off the plate that he swung at. Or have Tejada work with him.

Texas is big
I wouldn’t consider it southwest. Parts of it do seem more culturally similar to other places near by. For instance, East Texas is more ‘Southern’ than other parts of Texas. The Dallas area feels somehow more midwestern than other parts. Going out to West Texas, especially way west, is much more like the south west.
But “Texan” still seems to over ride all of that.

It's one of those language-not-keeping-up-with-reality things.
Geographically, the most southerly part of TX is south of damn near the whole country, save the southernmost tip of FL. There are parts of VA farther north than San Francisco (at least, when I’m eyeballing the map from across my classroom) but VA is still considered the South.
And don’t get me started on whatever the hell the “Midwest” is. Growing up in CA that was rather confusing to me. “Why is there no Mideast?” Ah, early introductions to EAST COAST BIAS….

The Birth Certificate exists. It’s just that by law it can only be released to family members. It’s even been published. The Hawaii Secretary of State receives about 2,000 requests a month for it and is sick of it. The whole populace here thinks there are some really stupid people on the mainland. Yeah right, we aren’t a state because you can’t remember us, don’t know geography, and think we’re exotic or something.

Why is there skepticism that a 23 year old can learn a lot in a few months of focused effort, especially by working daily with an experienced teacher? Especially since he did need to work on his habits on blocking balls in the dirt.
And why the resentful tone about how long Buster was in the minors? He was brought up in a historically fast manner. Please provide a list of catchers that had less professional experience before being handed a starting job in the majors.

And to address the other point, I wasn’t skeptical that Buster was a fast learner. I’m skeptical of the reasoning from the front office. Even if they genuinely thought he wasn’t ready to catch the staff, he went from not ready to ready in their eyes in just 2 months and change?

For my part, I always thought he stood to learn at least as much by being up in the majors, learning from Bengie and the pitching staff he caught and looking at ml pitching. While contributing to the team by hitting the ton of runs that we needed.
I was frankly surprised they thought he was ready to shoulder the whole burden in July, after all the smack they talked about how unready he was in April. That was my disconnect.

Is that I think that the bloggers who make it big in SBNation are actually more involved in their home blogs than they were before – Jeff Sullivan is an editor of the whole MLB section, but he comments more than anyone else at LL.
In a small sample size, it appears Grant has been more active on the board since blogging became his job. I think it’s because it’s easier to spend time on MCC when your job is baseball blogging than it is when your job is being harangued by a llama.

Proud papa to: Bill Schlough, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, aka the IT guy.
I've thought about this
It’s a bit worrying. Loney had much the similar reputation – good defense, not a ton of power. I certainly hope Belt is better.
That said, their minor league numbers are not really that different:
At age 22, Loney hit .380/.426/.546 – all of it in AAA
At age 22, Belt hit .352/.455/.620 – a superficially better slash line, but probably very close when you consider that most of it came in A-AA.
So here’s the bottom line: At this point in his career, there’s no evidence that Belt is better than Loney was at the same age. That evidence may yet come, but it’s not there right now.

I was just saying they look similar...
but the analysis is still valid. I will point out however, that anecdotally, it seems to me that LV is a total launching pad and those AAA stats of Loney’s might not be a pretty similar MLE to Belt’s Richmond line. I may be wrong though.
"Do you smell that Kenny? That's hard news. Notice the lack of fornicating horses."
it’s pretty tough when there’s only one year of Belt minor league stats to go on.
Belt appears to take significantly more walks than Loney. Loney walked in 9.4% of his PAs for his MiL career, 7.9% in AAA at age 22. Belt, across 3 levels of minors walked in 15.6%.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
yeah
even accounting for levels, I think we can call Belt better than Loney. And the things that he was better at are also usually better predictors of ML success.
If Belt walks 75 times this year, that will be more than sufficient to put him in completely another category to Loney.

Minor League Park Factors for 2010, 3 year and 1 year. Here’s how it compared to Connecticut:

So a bit below average for hitters, but much better than I was expecting. Connecticut was death for HR’s.

In reality, however, Belt will likely be a modest producer — at least this season. According to Baseball America, his power is only slightly above average. Down the road he may eclipse 25 homers annually, but, right now, his pop is more comparable to Gaby Sanchez or fellow rookie Freddie Freeman, players he may not outpace this year. The pitcher-friendly effects of AT&T does him no favors. And don’t bank on him surpassing 20 SBs. He possesses only average speed. Assuming he stays in the lineup, at most 10-15 steals should be expected, and that might be a stretch. Batting down in the order will also suppress his RBI and runs output.

this has to be a pokemonz article, right?
that’s the only reason to use ‘producer’ and then talk about HR, steals and RBI. That’s also why it talks about this year.
In a non keeper league, I would think Belt would be pretty far down the list for 1B, which is not inconsistent with the idea that he can be a very good player for the RL SF Giants this year.
fantasy is a pretty poor model for real baseball.

Yah, it is a fantasy article, which is why there is a slight amount of validity. However, I think that most of what he says about Belt fake baseballers would still take. A first baseman that only steals 10-15 bases for the year. Ok, I’ll take that. Gives us better than Freddie Freeman production but came much later in the draft? Check. I read that article and thought, wait, what was this article about? How Belt is gonna be pretty good but not great this year? Yah, I kind of think that’s what most people think. 20 hrs, 10-15 sbs, 80s runs and rbis, and for those much advanced leagues with OPS, a pretty good OPS.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/04/lapd-to-increase-security-at-dodger-stadium.html
Following an attack in the parking lot of Dodger stadium that left a visiting fan with brain damage, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Thursday announced they would dramatically increase the number of police patrolling the facility.
“You are going to see a sea of blue. And it’s not going to be Dodger blue. It’s going to be LAPD blue,” Beck said of the police presence at the team’s next home game April 14. Beck said he would "expend whatever resources necessary to keep fans safe at Dodger stadium. This is going to be a game-changer. People will be awed by the response of the Los Angeles Police Department to this because we will not suffer this as a city again. People have a right to enjoy the American pastime and we are going to assure that right."
Beck declined to discuss specifics of the plan to beef up security at the stadium, but said in a brief interview that it would be "at the absolute minimum" a doubling of the 30 to 40 uniformed officers who typically work at games. Beck said his staff was still working to determine the number of officers needed to provide more comprehensive patrol coverage inside and outside sprawling facility.
He emphasized that plainclothes officers would be deployed as well. LAPD officers who work at Dodger Stadium are typically off-duty from their normal patrol assignment, so it is unlikely the added deployment will strain staffing at area police stations. The stadium is one of a handful of high-profile locations that has an agreement with the city to use uniformed, off-duty officers for security.
When asked whether the cost of adding additional officers would be passed on to Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, Beck said he expected the Dodgers would foot the bill. Villaraigosa declined to say whether he had a formal commitment from McCourt to pay what could quickly become a six-figure cost, depending on how big the response and how many games it lasts. Discussions with McCourt and his staff to reach an agreement are ongoing, Villaraigosa said.
They might be Giants...but they are definitely WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

I kinda groaned at this

Beck continued “Our plan is to deploy the officers by the third inning, though most would be gone by the end of the seventh.”

Boy Scout Day
Sunday, 7/24 vs. MIL 1:05pm
The Giants are proud to support Boy Scouts of America with our annual Boy Scout Day! Come out early to enjoy a pre-game Scout tailgate for all scouts, their families, and friends, located in Seals Plaza (directly behind the ballpark by the ferry dock). Additionally, all uniformed scouts and scout leaders in attendance are invited to participate in a pre-game honor ceremony on the field. Everyone who purchases the Boy Scout Day special event ticket will also receive a special edition Boy Scout themed bobblehead, only available through this ticket offer. And if that isn’t enough enticement, a portion of all special event ticket proceeds will be donated back to Boy Scouts of America, benefitting scouts in the Bay Area and nationwide. Bring out the whole troop for what is sure to be a special day for Scouts of all ages!

since you will be toting this around quite a bit, I would stay away from most of the ‘consumer grade’ laptops. It will likely be worth the extra money to get something from the business lines.
I have a Dell Latitude for work, and every thing about it’s manufacture is better than a similarly spec’d Dell Inspiron. It’s 3 years old and it is holding up much better than the Inspirons that I have owned. I had a similar experience with a work ThinkPad vs a standard IBM laptop. They are built for more travel.
