If by 2 years, John means this year and 2014, I actually agree. Next year might not be as ugly as this year, but it won't be pretty. But I think 2015 could be a pivotal year for the Giants, with a ton of money to spend (at least that's the forecast) and some young talent likely ready to make their first contributions.
+1 here, next year is going to be difficult also.

I think next year will be like this year. 2015 will be a transition year where some young arms come up and hopefully produce. I see 2016 as the next time the Giants will be back competing for a title. It is always going to be tough though if the Dodgers continue to spend on the international market and the Giants do nothing of note there.
More optimistic about the Niners and Warriors over the next 2-3 years than I am the Giants. BUT.. we need win 2 WS

Yep, Frenchy already has more PA's than Belt since he got here and of course it will continue to decrease with Pill up.
No one in the world thinks it maybe a good idea to have Belt learn LF in a lost season? I'm just not following what's going on here.
ive been saying that for weeks. If you give Pill ABs or Posey at 1st, put Belt in LF.
Or maybe Belt just isn't that good.
Guaranteed to be better than Frenchy, Torres and Tanaka.
I don't know about that. Belt has exactly 2 hits and 8 K's in the last 7 games (Reds and Cubs series). As bad as Frenchy is, he has 4 hits and only 4 K's in that same period, and Tanaka is back in Fresno so he doesn't count anymore.
Belt is in a major funk right now, and really has been for most of July. That's pretty clear.
That's fine but you have to let your young players work through their funks. Especially when the season is basically over.
You don't just platoon a guy who's in the top three or four in most statistical categories on your team because he's slumping.
Most managers would agree, but Belt seems to be a little different animal. When he gets in a funk, he tends to stay in a funk for long periods of time....and it gets ugly to watch, like this month. IMO, it doesn't hurt to let him sit awhile. I'm not advocating getting rid of him just yet, but his inconsistencies are maddening.
Completely agree, but they're not going to the playoffs so there's no reason to platoon him (if that's what this ends up being).
Again, Belt hasn't shown the ability to play his way out of a slump and sustain things for any real period of time. So to keep throwing him out there when he's going this bad isn't a good thing, IMO....not for him, and definitely not for the team. Plus, when you're hitting this poorly as a team, you just HAVE to change things up. You can't keep throwing the same lineup out there and expect different results, so I get what Bochy is trying to do. The season is lost, no doubt, but you still have to try and win every game you can, and right now Belt can't hit water from a boat.
