There aren't many players around the league who get thrown into trade rumors by their own fans more than Brandon Belt does, but as the Giants prepare for their first spring under Gabe Kapler, the 31-year-old first baseman is headed for a milestone.
If Belt is standing at his usual position on Opening Day at Dodger Stadium, he'll become just the third Giant to make double-digit Opening Day starts at first base and the first to do it 10 consecutive seasons.
Willie McCovey never made 10 consecutive Opening Day starts at first base for the Giants.
