Blanton's DFA should be coming soon.

[Ohtaniland]

Going bizerk in the dugout today should send him packing. Butcher was peeved! 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I doubt it. It would make Dipoto look even worse.

[jsnpritchett]

He'll keep going out there every 5th day, just as he has been.

[mtangelsfan]

Yep

[jshep]

Blanton must read this board and saw all the threads about people wanting this team to show some fire.

[Docwaukee]

he's mad because he sucks. 

 

he's mad a lot. 

[SoWhat]

On a positive note, he is getting us closer to a top 10 pick. I say keep him in the rotation

[AZMike]

on this note, we should DL Pujols call up CJ Cron

Yep. He's just scuffling a bit, needs to work out some things with Butcher. The ball's still coming out of his hand pretty well.

[bloodbrother]

I don't want him on the team and I wish the Halos would get rid of him

[Docwaukee]

if suck were anger, Blanton would be William Foster. 

[tdawg87]

The Angels could get equal value out of pretty much anyone in their system right now, despite the lack of depth. Blanton has been THAT bad.

 

He is the worst pitcher this team has ever had. I have no idea what Dipoto was thinking when he signed this assclown.

[Docwaukee]

his performance so far this year is probably in the top five of worst seasons by a Halo SP

 

Abbott's 1996 was awful

Belcher in 1999

Kazmir in 2010

Bottenfield 2000

[Tyler]

Yup, he gone.

[Angel Oracle]

Please dump them both (Butcher and Blanton)!

[austin724]

Time to dump the shit on this team.  I want to go back to the way things were last decade.

[jsnpritchett]

LOL at anyone who actually believes they're going to release him.

[Tank]

They won't release him yet, but he's certainly closer t o it happening.

My guess is he suddenly has a "lower body" injury and ones on the DL.

there is too much of it from below his chest to his pelvis?

[Angel Oracle]

They can eat $20 million for GMJHGH and $28 million for Mr. Pop-Up, they can eat $10 million for Blanton.

[Scott34]

Did see the fight. What happened?

Video?

[disarcina]

perhaps they can deal him at deadline time to someone (quasi-contender -- we're not even in that category any more) who might need a fifth/sixth starter guy??

 

after today doubtful.

 

but why DFA him when we're paying him for the rest of the year..........might as well use him in long relief.

 

Games resume what? Thursday , July 18 ?  Six weeks until Sept. 1 rosters expand, anyway.........

 

might as well keep Blanton IF he can't be dealt as a rental to someone at deadline time.........when attempting to deal him, burn all known tapes of his last four outings........

[disarcina]

stop signing bad players..........hmmm.

 

GMJ

Vernon Wells

Joe Blanton

 

(partial listing)

[Angel Oracle]

Hamilton

Pujols

Take forever to return Madson

[halobob]

If we had signed a .500 pitcher instead of Blanton we'd be .500.
