Player Notes

March 11, 2010
Joe Blanton threw four scoreless innings of three-hit ball against the Tigers on Thursday. He allowed three hits and struck out none.

Our View:He lowered his spring ERA to 4.50 in the process. Consider Blanton a later-rounds pick, a staff filler if you will, in all formats.

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 Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.

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 Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrtated.

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 Jayson Stark of ESPN.

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 Associated Press.

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.
