Our favorite pitcher is planning his miraculous comeback.

Oakland AS by next season 

[Taylor]

In before, "Comeback to the buffet table?"

[Blarg]

That was well done, Taylor.

Shave the goatee, he's tried everything else.

[Erstad Grit]

Don't you have to be good first in order to have a comeback? 

[Troll Daddy]

Don't you have to be good first in order to have a comeback?

You don't have to be good to get a million dollar payday anymore in MLB.

Just a good agent

[Second Base]

I would love for the Angels to sign him, just so they can send his butt down to Orem and let him get lit up by 19 year olds.  That'll make him retire for good. 

[ten ocho recon scout]

Guess he ran out of that money we paid him last year

[disarcina]

betchya he'll get an ST invite from someone.

 

the Nashville AAA team is what MLB team's affiliate -- perhaps Blanton could catch on there and play at home.  He's a real 'homer' as a pitcher. I think he gave up more HRs in 2013 than any other MLB pitcher -- or at least he was leading the pack at one point in the season, Bartolo Colon or someone may have eclipsed him once Blanton got yanked out of the rotation and out of MLB that year.

 

any team who signs him may want to go back and check the press clippings that referred to Blanton as "the worst pitcher in MLB" based on his 2012/ 2013 stats.

 

I like the link to the article above, like days past it refers to Blanton as an 'innings eater' -- well, towards the end of his rotation days with the Halos, he wasn't getting much past the third inning.

[Glen]

I'm ready for the Blantonaissance.

[HaloCory22]

The prodigal son returns.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Don't call it a comeback

I've sucked here for years.

Gettin rocked by my peers

[Tank]

that article was extremely disappointing. it didn't mention whether or not the ball was coming out of his hand well.

 

what a bunch of amateur writers.

[Jimmag]

My prediction is same as poster name in post above this one.

well said.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The Sugarland Skeeters probably haven't finalized their rotation for next year.

Buffets can be expensive.

 

Especially when you go to all of them every day.

He speaks the truth!

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe he can learn R.A. Dickey's knuckler and the Spaceman's eephus pitch.

[Tank]

I heard he won the spot in the "Next Great Knuckler"....

 

you know, why not? if thrown correctly it's a very effective pitch. he sure isn't going to be much different with his old assortment of pitches and locations, so why not roll the dice and learn the knuckler?

 

unless of course his fingers are now too fat to grip it.
