Seriously?

My last post was about how Brandon Belt should start at first base over Aubrey Huff.

Well, here we are. Eight games into the season, and Huff has started seven games, while Belt has started four. The Giants are 4-4, and have won three games in a row. But I'm worried.

Like I said before, Belt needs to be starting at first base. Yes, it's true that Huff is batting .227 and Belt is only batting .091. Huff has one homerun and three RBIs, while Belt has none of the above. However, Huff has 22 at-bats, while Belt has only had 11.

The Giants are at .500, and their pitching is getting stonger as the season goes on (as expected). However, the position of first base is still up for grabs, and this fact alone concerns me a lot. When Bochy was pressed about why Belt wasn't starting at first base he said, "We're trying to win ballgames. ..It's not to get anybody ready." But, based on the season so far, why should we believe that Huff gives the Giants a better chance to win than Belt? And also, why isn't it part of Bochy's job to develop young talent into players that will lead this team into the future?

Tonight Huff went 0-4 and left three men on base. In a tight ballgame (the Giants won 4-3 on an error in the bottom of the ninth), Huff did nothing. He is 35 years old and has always been a very inconsistent hitter.

Tonight, Belt sat on the bench. Who was more effective?
