Raul Ibanez hit his 23rd and 24th homers and even mixed in a double Friday as the Mariners bested the Angels 8-3. Ibanez is just the third player to hit 24 or more homers at age 41 or above. Ted Williams hit 29 at 41, while Barry Bonds hit 26 at 41 and 28 at 42. Ibanez could blow by those marks before the month is out with the way he's going. He now has 16 homers at Safeco this season.

Raul Ibanez went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI Thursday against the Rangers. That's seven homers in 10 games for Ibanez and 21 overall.

He even has his average up to .257 now; it's the first time all season that his average has topped .250.

Raul Ibanez went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI. It was the 41-year-old's 15th home run of the season after he slugged 19 last year. He's now batting .235/.278/.495 and remains an all-or-nothing plodding slugger who can help AL-only owners.

Raul Ibanez hit a solo homer Monday in the win over the Astros. It was the 41-year-old's only hit in four at-bats. Ibanez has morphed into an all-or-nothing threat in his old age, collecting 12 homers in just 160 at-bats.

Raul Ibanez had a two-run homer and a two-run double Tuesday in the win over the White Sox. The Mariners are hitting, but it's probably not the best thing for the franchise's future that Ibanez, Jason Bay and free-agent-to-be Kendrys Morales are leading the charge.

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

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.
