Phillies have acquired Joe Blanton for minor leaguers Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman, and Matthew Spencer.

Lets just put this all out into perspective:
Athletics give up:
Dan Haren, Connor Robertson, Nick Swisher, Rich Harden, Chad Gaudin, Joe Blanton

Athletics land:
Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Anderson, Chris Carter, Dana Eveland, Greg Smith, Aaron Cunningham, Gio Gonzalez, Fautino De Los Santos, Ryan Sweeney, Sean Gallagher, Matt Murton, Eric Patterson, Josh Donaldson, Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman, Matthew Spencer

win.

Philly is a bunch of idiots. Blanton is worth no more than a bag of peanuts and some corks for Eric Chavez's bat.

I think Joe Blanton is a pretty cool guy.

He's gotta be worth more than the guy he's replacing in the rotation. (Eaton)

eh gains wait and doesn't afraid of roundness

Blanton's already going downhill, but the Phillies didn't give up as much as the Cubs did, at least.

Weight isn't Blantons problem. His problem is thaat hes a pitcher who lets people hit grounders and pop ups. Unfortuently his new home is a small stadium with little foul ground, instead of the wide plains that they call a stadium in Oakland. Its going to be great to watch people knock 2 out a game, every home game.

Fuck, I wish the A's stayed in Philly instead of the National squad.
My head looks like a radish when I wear red since I'm such a whitey, and the A's had a much better history even before the move.

Billy Beane claims another victim.
Joe Blanton will be your second best pitcher behind Cole Hamels, thats not good.
its slight improvement, certainly doesn't make them World Series favorites or even NL East Favs for that matter

Should have gotten Burnett.

They would have had to give up a shitload more for Burnett. Carrasco for starters.

The only pitcher worth sacrificing Carrasco for is Roy Halladay, and that ain't happening.
