| Player Notes |
|
January 21, 2010 The Phillies have bought out Joe Blanton's final year of arbitration eligibility and signed him to a three-year, $24 million deal, according to Our View:Given the recent deals handed out to Joel Pineiro and Jason Marquis, $8 million is not a bad price for a pitcher that went 12-8 with a 4.05 ERA and 163 strikeouts in 2009. At only age 29, as well, the deal will not stretch beyond his prime years. |
|
January 19, 2010 Joe Blanton is seeking $10.25 million in arbitration, according to Our View:The Phillies have counter-proposed $7.5 million. While Blanton has pitched very well since coming to the City of Brotherly Love, saying that he's a $10 million pitcher would be an enormous stretch. Expect the Phils to win this one. |
|
December 7, 2009 The Phillies have made starting pitcher Joe Blanton available this offseason, according to Our View:Blanton pitched very well for Philadelphia last season, particularly after the All-Star break when he went 6-4 with a 3.62 ERA in 14 starts, but the team wants to free up some money to pursue bullpen help. In 1026.2 career innings, he has a solid 4.21 ERA. |
|
October 30, 2009 Joe Blanton has been slated to pitch Game 4 of the World Series for Philadelphia, according to the Our View:Skipper Charlie Manuel does not want to use ace Cliff Lee on only three days of rest. Lee will take the hill in Game 5. Blanton has World Series experience, as he pitched for the club in 2008. |
|
October 19, 2009 Joe Blanton pitched six strong innings for the Phillies on Monday as his team came from behind to beat the Dodgers 5-4. Blanton allowed three runs on six hits while walking two and striking out two. Our View:Blanton wasn't great tonight, but he was good and he kept his team in the game through six innings. He didn't factor into the decision, but it looks like manager Charlie Manuel made the right move by starting him tonight. |
