A conga line of Giants approached Brandon Belt's locker to welcome the kid to the 25-man roster Wednesday afternoon. When Buster Posey arrived, he offered a handshake and just two words:
"Beller, congratulations."
Beller?
Perfect. Hey, Major League Baseball, make way for Buster & Beller. The B&B Boys. If Belt makes a splash in 2011 anywhere near Posey's in 2010, the rest of the National League West is in trouble.
The Giants made it official Wednesday, confirming what was expected earlier in the week. They made Belt their starting first baseman, and with a name like Belt, who really needs a nickname?
"I've been dreaming of this my entire life. It's come true now," said Belt, who cried when hearing the good news from manager Bruce Bochy and remained teary-eyed long afterward. "I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I want to cry at the same time. I don't know what to think right now."
Travis Ishikawa was designated for assignment because the Giants no longer needed a defensive-minded first baseman even though Ishikawa was at times a dandy pinch-hitter. Belt's game is all-encompassing. He's an above-average defender, and management obviously believes he is ready offensively.
