Phillies were asking for Jon Schoop, who is our #3 prospect.I get it but if they're not giving up Bundy or Machado, they're not getting what they need. Their farm drops off a fair amount after those two so you'll only get guys like Blanton. He's not THAT bad, he's already used to pitching in a nice hitters park but he gives up a ton of HR's.
According to the O's, Schoop is off the table in any deal involving Blanton. Now, if Hunter Pence was included, we might be getting somewhere w/ this Blanton for Schoop swap (probably have to include either Arrieta or Matsuz).
As far as Blanton, I don't see him being much better than Tommy Hunter--who also gives up a ton of HRs.
