This week I went a bit reliever crazy. It's better to spend a small amount on a middle reliever who could take over as the closer than spend a huge amount on the guy a week or two later when he is officially named the closer. Therefore, I added an AL East closer in pretty [...]

Raul Ibanez's recent power surge continued Saturday, as he launched a solo homer in a loss to the Indians.

Ibanez had two home runs through his first 19 games this season, but he now has six over his last seven. The 40-year-old shouldn't be owned in shallow mixed leagues, but he might be worth a try in deeper formats while he's hot.

Raul Ibanez remained red hot in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Indians, going 3-for-5 with a two-run homer.

The sixth inning blast off Rich Hill was his seventh of the season, and knotted the game at 3-3. He's now homered five times and driven in 13 runs in his last six games. Despite the recent success however, he's still hitting .235/.278/.541 on the season and remains a spot play at best in most fantasy leagues.

Raul Ibanez hit two home runs and drove in six runs as the Mariners beat the Yankees 12-2 on Wednesday.

Ibanez broke the game open with a grand slam in the first inning and added a two-run homer in the fifth. The outfielder now has four home runs in four games after hitting just two in his first 19 games. His platoon situation in Seattle and his decreased production doesn't make him an option outside of AL-only leagues, though.

Raul Ibanez singled and belted a two-run homer off of CC Sabathia in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

Zero of Ibanez's 19 home runs last season came off of left-handed pitching, so, naturally, he took one of the best lefties in the game deep in this one. Though he's hitting just .211 for the season, Ibanez has a modest five-game hitting streak going and has homered in two of his last three starts.

Raul Ibanez hit a three-run homer off Dan Straily in the Mariners' victory Friday.

Ibanez has just 12 hits in 64 at-bats, giving him a .188 average, but at least seven of those 12 hits have gone for extra bases. The Mariners will likely keep him around all year, but hopefully they won't have to give him quite so many starts as time goes by.
