Joe Blanton traded to the Phillies...

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Big fuking deal....not the pitcher I was hoping for, but anything is better than what they have now with Meyers struggling...

Not a bad pickup. Blanton can eat up innings and going from AL to NL should help.

Your right, he can eat, but he is not that good imo.

Hamels,
Moyer,
Eaton,
Kendrick,
and I am forgetting their 5th guy, but overall, he is a decent addition, but not a season changer.

ya by no means do i think it's a huge deal, but should help a little. personally i like betting against him.

Those footsteps the Phillies hear are the Fish coming with a second half surge.

Fuck

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

NL East will go down to the wire...Marlins also need pitching...fuk the Mets....

 

[GreenDoberman]

Marlins just added Josh Johnson, Volstad (#1 prospect) and Anibal Sanchez is about two weeks ago. If they stay healthy, a BIG if, that is plenty of pitching.

I agree, I always felt he was bit overvalued.

The Kansas City Royals selected the contract of former A’s right-hander Joe Blanton from Triple-A Omaha and optioned reliever Aaron Brooks to Omaha before Saturday night’s game against the New York Yankees.
The Royals also recalled left-hander Brian Flynn from Omaha and placed him on the 60-day disabled list with a torn muscle in the back of his shoulder. Flynn was barely beaten out for a job in the Royals’ bullpen in spring training.
Blanton, 34, last pitched in the majors with the Angels in 2013. He signed a minor-league deal with Kansas City and made seven starts, going 3-2 with a 3.89 ERA.

Blanton has hung around longer than I ever expected.
