If Perez decides to walk at year's end, we still have 4 solid guys at the top of the rotation. Another point getting Blanton is like getting insurance.

The last 2 years the guys we have had in the #5 spot have been lucky to get out of the 5th inning. Also, our #5 guys have always come up hurt, Blanton is a really durable guy and still young. As long as we don't have to give up the entire farm for him, I'd say go for it.

That would just about make my year. I would love to see Rosenthal finishing up a rendition of “Hungry Like The Wolf” ala the Old Spice commercials and then turning to the camera to give his report.

He always has that forced smile. Agree though, Joe Blanton is overated and i could see him imploding at Shea. (or Citi field) Rosenthal is pretty weak. He always has that forced smile.

He would be a great addition, depending, as always, on what he would cost. I love Blanton though. He would be a great addition, depending, as always, on what he would cost.

Blanton could really help the Reds finish a good off-season, but not at the expense of their top prospects. I’m just happy the Mets don’t have to be linked to these rumors anymore.
