It’s been pretty disgusting the way Giants “fans” and management has treated Belt. If you look at almost any metric there is, he is a top 20-25 hitter in all of MLB, and even more valuable @1B, he plays the position well. 2.05 is just insulting. I understand the business of baseball and his future salaries are based on this years if they stay the arb route, which they should lock him up for a couple of his FA years too, at some cost certainty and also showing him the respect he hasn’t been shown to this point. He should be offered something looking a little like 6/55ish about 2.75, 5, 8, 11, 13.25, 15, maybe slap an option on there of 18 w/a couple Millions buyout, that’d take him through age 32, and getting 2 maybe 3 FA years, for a little over 70MM, that’s a pretty good value if you ask me for a guy who I think has a 3 Win floor in a full season and could creep towards 6 or 7 wins in the next few years as he ages, and gets a little more man muscle. As Teddy KGB would say “Pay that man his money”!
