JOE BLANTON RUMORS & GOSSIP
The Highs and Lows of the Game, Angels win a wild one 12-9
This is the kind of game that drives Angels fans crazy. The start of the game brought with all the usual heartbreak of a Joe Blanton start. Then all of a sudden an unknown reliever bails them out and the offense starts hitting the cover off the ball. Just when it looks like a laugher, the bullpen comes in and mucks it all up as the opposing team storms back. Finally, the Halos add...

Another Blanton stinker sinks the Angels as they fall 11-4 to the Royals
Joe Blanton is slowly robbing me of my will to live. I really can't handle another one of his starts and I'm not sure the Angels already microscopic hopes of turning this season around can either.
After having three not terrible starts against three terrible offenses, Blanton reverted back to becoming the Human Batting Practice machine. There is no sense describing it...

Blanton Shows Up, Offense Doesn't; Angels Lose to Orioles 5- 1
Joe Blanton showed up tonight. The rest of the Angels? Nope. Joe came in and threw 8 strong innings (an Angels first) giving up 2 earned runs. Chris Tillman, the Fountain Valley High kid, just wanted it more. He came in and shutdown the Halos through 8 innings, giving up only 3 hits. The Big Four combined to go 2- 14, with Pujols’ homer coming too little too late...
This Halladay Looks More Like Blanton
After three straight promising starts Roy Halladay turned in another clunker Tuesday night. In allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks, Halladay finished April with a 6.75 ERA, 5.73 FIP and a ghastly 2.25 HR/9. He cost the Phillies 0.3 WAR last month.
MLB Network noted this morning that Halladay’s 5.59 ERA over the last calendar year (April 30, 2012 to April 30, 2013) is...
Joe Blanton Player Profile & Projections
By Robert Cunningham, AngelsWin.com Staff Writer --
2013 Outlook: So clearly Joe Blanton isn't the "Big Splash" that everyone was thinking of when the Angels acquired a pitcher during the offseason. No one is here to argue that. However, like Hanson, Joe could prove to be a "Value Splash" based on a recent history (since 2010) of increased strikeouts...
Dodgers complete Blanton trade by sending O'Sullivan to Philly
The Dodgers sent right-handed pitcher Ryan O'Sullivan to Philadelphia today to complete the Joe Blanton trade.
I was a little surprised when I saw this news, but I guess it's not the worst trade. I was on board with the Blanton acquisition, but I thought it might take a little less than O'Sullivan to land.
O'Sullivan ranked as the Dodgers' 18th-best prospect...
