Despite his 4-6 record and 5.86 ERA, Blanton is card #34 in this year's Chachi set.Phillies debut: July 22, 2008
Major League debut: September 21, 2004
How acquired: Acquired from the Oakland Athletics for Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman and Matt Spencer, July 17, 2008

2009 Postseason: Blanton appeared in relief in 2 NLDS games. He started Game 4 of both the NLCS (6 innings, 3 earned runs, no decision) and the World Series (6 innings, 4 earned runs, no decision).
