http://tinyurl.com/78z5n7m The Baby Giraffe is growing up and he's poised to take the next step in his career. Brandon Belt, who batted .391 during a stellar Spring Training, is ready to put his disappointing 2011 rookie season behind him. Belt was in the starting lineup at first base for the fourth straight contest Monday, perhaps a sign he's won the everyday job over Aubrey Huff and Brett Pill. As he looks back on his .225 batting average from a year ago, Belt concedes his struggles were of the mental sort. "It was nearly 100 percent mental," Belt said. "For me, I think getting in the right mindset is what's going to make the biggest difference. I think I did a lot better job with that this spring than I did last year." The 24-year-old slugger said he didn't do anything different this offseason and that he focused on getting back to his usual approach at the plate. "I have a lot more confidence this year," Belt said. "I know a lot more about what to expect coming into this year so there's not going to be too many surprises. I just want to go out there and play my game and see what happens." 鹿鹿正不断的成长当中，看看在春训那轰狂的成绩，这似乎宣告着牠已经摆好姿态 要开始面对下一阶级的挑战了。 离开季时间越来越近，Belt也持续跟着一垒垒包共度那春训的美好时光， 这或许是暗示着牠在这个位子的可能性是越来越高了，而当牠回想着去年球季 那不算亮眼的成绩时，牠承认那些突来的变化让牠有点感到不太适应。 Belt认为今年最大的改变就是调整好自己的心态去放在正确的位置， 并把自己摆回到属於自己的打击节奏藉此召回当初的恐怖鹿鹿。 Belt：「今年我有着更多的信心去打好每场比赛，我也知道我同时背负着更大的期望， ，所以你们可能对我之後的成绩不会有感到有啥惊奇，但对於现在而言我想要去做的就是 走出过去，迎向未来。」 --
