When the Washington Nationals signed Joe Blanton during spring training, most people thought Mike Rizzo got a great bargain to get a quality reliever on a one-year deal. But, is it too early for Rizzo to feel some buyer’s remorse on the Blanton signing since the 36-year-old has not had a good start to the year?
Yesterday, it was Blanton who gave up a two run home run to Cesar Hernandez in the top of the eighth that ultimately gave the Phillies a 4-2 win over the Nats.
