More that meets the eye with Joe Blanton?

No this isn't a fat joke! You people are jerks.

Joe Blanton is often referred to as an innings eater or a quality starter. But my question is, is there more that meets the eye with Joe Blanton? In June, July, and August Blanton transformed(I'm so funny aren't I?) into a dominant pitcher. Blanton pitched a combined 109 innings for a 3.41 ERA in that three month span. However, it wasn't like that the entire season, Blanton got off to a bad start and a not so great finish in September and October(not counting two respectable postseason starts).

So what do you think Joe Blanton did differently in June, July, and August? Do you think he can keep it up for a whole season? What do you think Joe Blantons ERA will be in 2010? Do you think he can win 15+ games? Comment and share your thoughts!
