Jason Stark of ESPN says this is a done deal 3 years for 30 million.

Good deal for the Phils. I like it.

Definite good player and ok with it but also thinking a right handed bat is what we needed.

3 years....at his age for 10 mil per?
I think it's a bit high- but Philly can afford it

- he's a good player & has been very steady-
but signing older players is always a crap-shoot

and $160mil for a pitcher that is nearing 300lbs wasn't

Uh oh. There goes the Angels' backup plan for when they lose Teixeira.

Full moon tonight.

That's bound to bring the kooks out in full force.

For a refreshing change of intellectual pace, may I recommend a quiet, furtive hour studying the physiotopography of Sienna Miller?

it absolutely is....
but cc is 8 years younger & the Yanks are DESPERATE

I wanted to make fun of this.... but I think Ibanez is an upgrade from Burrell..... much more consistent, higher average, fewer strikeouts, better production and he cannot be a worse fielder than Burrell.....

Bradley to the Rays, Abreu to the Cubs, Ibanez to the Phils, Teixeira to the Yankees, Manny to the Dodgers, Lowe to the Red Sox... looks like the Angels will be left with Ken Griffey Jr.

Raul Ibanez is a GREAT addition for the Phillies!
He is a class act, a solid ball player and an even better person.
You will never feel cheated in the effort that Raul will give you on the field.
We will miss him in Seattle.

good he is out of the A.L. West where he destroyed my Angels.
