If Ibanez was the only upgrade to our lineup, I'd agree. But he can pair with Lind at DH/LF without breaking the bank.
I don't want to see a 4 year $20Mil ManRam to give us a one or two year window to win before ManRam/Wells/Doc would be half our payroll and we'd be giving away assets to shed salary.
