PLAYING TIME: Yankees sign Ibanez to DH

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Ibanez newest Yankee DH

The Yankees finally made official what seemed fait accompli for weeks when they inked Raul Ibanez (DH, NYY) to a one-year contract. Ibanez, who turns 40 in June, returns to the AL for the first time since 2008 to become the Yankees’ primary DH.

Ibanez is a durable player who has had less than 500 AB only once in the past ten years. He’s now expected to exploit the short right-field porch of Yankee Stadium (+43% LHB HR). Do his previous three years with PHI support those expectations?
