Was it the end of the world last year when Hank White had to fill in for him? Of course not and it won't be this year either if Blanco gets some extended playing time.

is one of the only middle of the road free agents that can actually do the primary thing he's acquired for. Play solid defense. Who knows, he might actually have a similar affect on the relievers that he has with Zambrano.
