Joe Blanton
The Phillies were struggling at the back-end of the rotation, as Adam Eaton was 4-8 with a ridiculously high 5.80 ERA. Blanton came to the rescue in a trade with Oakland in mid-July for three players.
Although his ERA was not stellar at 4.20, it was a significant improvement over Eaton. Blanton was 4-0 in 13 regular season starts and 2-0 in the postseason.
No one will forget the World Series home run in the left field seats against the Rays.
Blanton had varying degrees of success with the Phillies until 2012 and bounced around the majors, last pitching for the Nationals last season.
