The Blue Jay Hunter —
So it's almost been one week of free agency, and we're still waiting for one of the big three (Sabathia, Teixeira, Manny) to find a home for the 2009 season. Now, we've learned that Sabathia won't make a decision until after finishing his thanksgiving leftovers.

... the opposite way and keep him as as -10 while bumping his offense up to, say, .365, you end up with about 1.7.
As a DH, he's between 1-2 wins.
Conclusion
On the free agent market, teams spend about $4.8m per one win. So Raul Ibanez, at his unlikely absolute very best, is about a $10m player in 2009. Meanwhile, Raul Ibanez the Marcel projection is more like a $5m player in 2009. He is then, of course, expected to continue declining in 2010 and 2011.
