Fantasy Analysis
Blanco has started four straight games for the Giants and is beginning to pick up his production after a slow April. He won a spot on the roster with a hot spring and appears to be an everyday starter for the time being. While he does not have much pop, Blanco's speed and ability to hit for average makes him valuable in Fantasy. Consider adding the 28-year-old in NL-only formats at this point. (Updated 05/15/2012).
