Any word on Blanton?

[Halos of Anaheim]

Is he ''in the best shape of his life'' yet? Is he working extra hard this offseason? Or is he just going to sit on his ass and eat up our money doing nothing?

[IowaAngels27]

I hear him and Weav will be in a battle for the #1 spot

[tdawg87]

He still sucks.

Unless a player is coming off an injury, the BSOHL articles usually don't start until spring training. .

He's the white version of Wells. Except Wells actually gave us a glimmer of hope and some good moments.

Look to see him as our 5th starter in April. Scioscia will give him another chance since he's a veteran.

[Brent Maguire]

Just wait guys. Blanton will be the comeback player of the year....

With the Rays after we release him.

The ball was coming out of his hand pretty shitty

[Angel Oracle]

I hear he's improved his TOTC numbers.   (Tipping of the cap)

I kid you not....I thought they got rid of him already.

Does anyone own a Blanton jersey?

Be honest

lol  "Butch has been doin' some work with him down in the pen. He's getting to where he needs to be."

[tdawg87]

Realistically there is no way Blanton replicates 2013's numbers. He sucks, and there is no questioning that he sucks, but he doesn't suck THAT much. More than likely he would put up a 4.75 ERA if he started for the Angels in 2014.

 

Let us pray that he does not have to do that.

Usually the person asking the question is the guilty party, LOL.

At least both of them accounted for their share of home runs.

 

There is a word on Blanton, and that word is sucks.

My favorite Joe Blanton moment was when the Angels wished him a happy birthday on Twitter and Facebook and the response it got from the fans. Dam that was some comedy.

[Jobu]

Nobody has posted the Barbaro video??

[Vegas Halo Fan]

After my last remark I decided to do a comparison, to see how many home runs that Wells and Blanton have accounted for with the Angels. VDub hit 25 HR in 2011 and 11 in 2012 for a total of 36 with the Angels. Blanton surrendered 29 home runs last year, so pretty close. JoeBlo's total beats Vernon's best season, if you want to look at it that way.

 

One bit of suckage that really jumped out at me: Blanton surrendered 180 hits and 34 walks in 132.2 IP. That is a hell of a lot of baserunners.
