Ibanez?

Yahoo sports is reporting that the Cubs have made Raul Ibanez their top priority in the free agent market. The left-handed hitting outfielder would probably end up in right field or the Cubs. He is 37, though, a little bit old. I'm glad to ehar that he has conditioning that rivals most guys at 25, but no one fights father time and wins. My personal choice is to bring back Edmonds, and give Fukudome another shot to prove he belongs. By that point, we could possibly do better than Ibanez.

Tab Bramford's article at the Bleacher Report (link over at left) goes into more detail, but ends up recommending Junior Griffey. I would love to see Bobby Abreu, on base beast, wearing our uniform next season.
