| Expecting him to be anything but depth that doesn't kill you at this point seems awfully iffy.
And I'm fine with this idea if that's what it is, but for some reason there seems to be more interest in him than that |

I agree. I would also prefer to let Richards have a shot than have Blanton in there |
|
| |
|
Location: Irvine | The only thing worse than finding confirmation of Blanton's signing, will be hearing how much money we wasted doing it.
Anything over $1628 is too much |

Ya, I certainly don't think this is instead of McCarthy, Sanchez, Marcum et al.
But I don't even like Blanton much as a 5th starter. |

If only there were some way the Angels could've signed Dan Haren for less than the 1yr/$13M he got on the open market, oh wait  |
