I Thought Our Goal Was To Get Younger?

I really don’t understand the fascination with Raul Ibanez…

Ken Davidoff of Newsday, mentions the Mets renewed interest in the aging yet solid if nothing else, outfielder.

Meanwhile, the Mets continue to maintain communication with free agent Raul Ibañez, who interests them as an outfield bat, but they’ll face competition for the 36-year-old. The Phillies, the defending World Series champions, have expressed interest in Ibañez, who could replace free agent Pat Burrell in leftfield. So have the Dodgers, who could sign Ibañez if they can’t retain Manny Ramirez, the Cubs, the Royals and the Mariners, with whom Ibañez spent the past five years.

If we do get Ibanez, I hope I don’t have to write another I told you so blog in May should he end up on the disabled list.

I thought we were looking to get younger? Isn’t that what Omar said during his very first press conference after the season ended?

Lowe – 35, Fuentes 33, Ibanez 36, Pedro 37,

I see a pattern here…
