Fans finally know what has been keeping first baseman Brandon Belt from suiting up for the SF Giants thus far in spring training. In a videoconference with reporters on Saturday, Belt revealed that he contracted mononucleosis just as spring training approached. While he told reporters he is finally feeling better, Belt is now trying to regain his strength and return to game shape in time to join the team by Opening Day.
