Joe Blanton's 2010 season will most likely be one he'd like to forget. He missed the first month of the season while recovering from an oblique injury, and despite a few well-pitched games, it seems as if he's never really found his groove. Despite his 4-6 record and 5.86 ERA, Blanton is card #34 in this year's Chachi set.
