It continues to be a struggle this season for Blanton, evident by his 0-7 record and 6.62 ERA, but the Angels were able to provide plenty of run support for their pitchers and it led to Blanton not factoring in the decision. He has 35 strikeouts this season to go along with 13 walks.","date":"Sat May 18"},"fullName":"Joe Blanton","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After spending four and a half years in the National League, Blanton returns to the American League West where he will toil for the Angels. He brings with him more strikeouts and improved control since his early days with the Athletics. Home runs allowed are Blanton's crutch and since Angel Stadium suppresses homers by 20 percent, Blanton could be a sneaky source of value if used at home and in favorable matchups.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.1,"playerRater15DAY":-3.2,"positionRank":218}
