BBREF says 2016 was his last season in Korea.
Yeah, I guess I should have looked more carefully at which three years. :L I wonder why he didn't play in 2017? Injury? Retirement? Hold out for a bigger contract?

His forwarding address is a dumpster behind the local IHOP. That way he can be "discovered" by the Giants scouts.
He needs to make sure he's got a couple of tires always sitting just outside the dumpster.

Interesting. I guess he wasn't going to make the AAA team out of spring training and decided to just hang it up instead of trying to catch on with another team. He had a good run in Korea, too bad he didn't get a better chance back in the US.

Part of the Happy Hour Trio at first base for the Giants - a Huff, a Pill, and a Belt.

Followed by a thrill...
Someone else had mentioned we should have made a deal for Justin Smoak as well. Would have turned out to be much better than just a joke.

"I think you're talking about one of the most professional hitters in baseball at this point, you look at the OPS [on-base plus slugging] and everything, on-base [percentage] and all of that,'' Bochy said.

Wasn't this the same manager that made overtures during the offseason that he was tired of his 1st baseman?

No one can argue against Belt. This year, though. He hadn’t busted out until this year. I think it is not a weird thing to see opinions shift.
