I'll probably get ripped but whatever.
Blanton hasn't been THAT bad, folks. 31.2 IP, 33 K, 8 BB, 4.26 ERA in his last 5 starts. He has been getting better. Seems to have a stretch of 3 or so QSs followed by one blowup. Granted, his H/9 are skyrocketing from his career norm, but he hasn't been given the best support defensively or offensively for that matter.
Now I'm not saying signing him was a good move. I was extremely pissed off when we signed him and I still am, but hes not the reason for our season being in the shitter.
