Ibanez may fill Tigers’ needs

Muwahahahaha. From the Detroit Free Press and Jon Paul Morosi:

Could there be a better solution to the Tigers’ leftfield needs than Raul Ibanez?

Detroit president/general manager Dave Dombrowski acknowledged last week that he will look for a left-handed hitter this winter. Ibanez was among the top outfield run producers in baseball this year — and he’s left-handed.

Ibanez, 35, had 105 RBIs for the Seattle Mariners this season. That’s one less than Adam Dunn, with 68 fewer strikeouts.

It’s cool, Tigers. You can have him. We don’t even need a starter in return.

Warning: The above link contains a weird, artsty sort of black-and-white picture of Ibanez, which you can re-size and move around your browser. I don’t get it.
