Blanton will be a nice addition to the staff. His low ball pitching style will fit here. Plus, his numbers were skewed. They gave him no run support in multiple games that he pitched well.
Besides, as Saucon stated, ANY arm is better than Eaton. I'd take JOhn Franco, hell, I'd take Fernando Valenzuela in their present state over Eaton.
