Blanton had one of the highest run supports in the AL. I'd like this a lot better if we get something in addition to Milledge...considering Blanton is somewhat proven as a major league pitcher and Milledge hasn't proven anything really.Interestingly, though, the next cleat to fall will not be on the Giants' side, but in Oakland, where the dramatically more successful Athletics, having already lost Frank Thomas, Jay Payton and Ken Macha, are likely to also dispatch their winningest pitcher, Joe Blanton, to New York as part of a deal that would fetch one of Billy Beane's longest-held desirables, outfielder Lastings Milledge.
