I want him to do well...I just don't get what seems to be some sort of emotional tie in with Brandon Belt from some people here.
I can't speak for others in here, but it has nothing to do with "emotional ties."
There is nothing I can do for you if you can't see why he is promising, just watch more baseball. Its his approach at the plate that is intriguing. He is very selective at the plate and has the ability to really put up a sweet OBP with a little bit of play time and adjustments.
