Posted: Tue Dec 31, 2013 2:01 pm
Raul Ibanez, who will turn 42 in June, is confident he can still perform at a high level.
He recently signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels.
"If I didn't know that I could perform at a high level, then I wouldn't even play the game," Ibanez said. "I definitely expect to contribute to this team and to be a part of continuing the winning tradition here."
Ibanez has a base salary of $2.75 million, with another $2.25 million in incentives.
He hit 29 homers with a .793 OPS last year for the Seattle Mariners, though his numbers took a sharp downturn in the second half.
