Apparently, a number of GM's were inquiring about the availability of first baseman Brandon Belt during last week's GM meetings. While I highly doubt that the Giants are considering trading Belt, it is interesting to note that many teams have expressed interest. While struggling in his rookie year and much of the first half of this season, Belt showed glimpses of the promise he still has in a strong second half. At just 24 years old, there is still plenty of time for Belt to develop into the star that many expected him to be. He hit 293 in the second half and through all of his offensive struggles he has continued to play gold glove caliber defense at first base. I don't expect much to come of this but it is certainly a card that Sabean will keep in his back pocket.
