Well, we can't afford to pay more than 10 million per anyway I'd think. I think Abreu gets more than that though. I'd guess Ibanez is 2 years, 20 million and he'll be well worth it. I know we'd at least like either of them more than Alf and the 16 million hes making next year, followed by 18 million each of the 5 years after.

If Ibanez signs for only 2 years I would be all for that, but I could see a team looking to make a splash offer a three year deal or more. I don't have a real reason for it since I haven't seen him play but I expect his numbers to drop next year (although a move to the NL could prevent that some).
