As expected, Blanton will make his season debut against the Cardinals on Monday. He was forced to begin the year on the disabled list due to a strained left oblique muscle. Blanton was 12-8 with a 4.05 ERA with the Phillies last season, averaging a career-high 7.5 K/9. He's not exactly an ace, but his consistency shouldn't be ignored in mixed leagues either.
