Yanks sign Ibanez

[Ozzie]

The Yankees have agreed to a 1-year, 1.1 million dollar deal with outfielder Raul Ibanez, who they will mostly use as a left-handed designated hitter.

They signed Ibanez over other free agents, including Johnny Damon, because they think he can play defense if needed.

Ibanez batted for an average of .256 with 16 homeruns and 60 RBI last year with the Phillies.

Don't know if he will make that much of an impact, but he's still a pretty good player.
