The Story: Analyzing the Raul Ibanez signing.
The Monkey Says: Raul compares very well to others who played at his age and those have mostly been all-time greats. Raul seems to be the exception to that group just because he managed to stay in great shape, but maybe that means he can squeeze out another quality season.
