SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Brandon Belt never asked to be a poster child, a lightning rod or a test case.
He doesn't want to represent the rope in the eternal tug between those who value baseball players in more traditional respects and those who take a deep dive into designer statistics.Yet few players are so perfectly decamped in that demilitarized zone as Belt, who inspires so much disagreement across the board, from talk radio callers to studio analysts to the upper reaches of the Giants' own front office.Ask what Belt must do to become a very good major league hitter, and you won't get two distinct answers.
