Raul Ibanez continues to push on
by Scott Butler 5/29/10

In case you haven't noticed, Raul Ibanez has been making a bit of a statement for quite a while now. I know a .253 average with 3 homers and 21 RBI's doesn't make you stand up and cheer, but his numbers aren't nearly as horrifiying as they were in the beginning of April.

Remember how bad Ibanez was in April? His numbers were pretty nasty: .221 average with 1 homer and 9 RBI's. Not only that, but he was late on fastballs and frankly starting to look like an old man.

But Rauuuul told Charlie he would right the ship, and that's exactly what he did. His May numbers prove it: .280 average with 2 homers and 12 RBIs. The power numbers aren't there yet, but he is starting to hit the ball hard and the power numbers should follow. I don't think we will ever see him hit anywhere near what he showed at the beginning of last season, but he is showing signs the hasn't completly lost it. At least not yet...
