Ibanez files

Ex-Appleton Fox Raul Ibanez ('93, '94) has filed for free agency.
Raul Ibanez, one of the Mariners' most reliable run producers during the past four seasons, filed for free agency Thursday.

Longtime Mariners utility player Willie Bloomquist and veteran infielder Miguel Cairo were also among the 65 Major League players that filed on the first day of the filing window, which lasts until Nov. 13.

The players' current teams have exclusive negotiating rights for the 15-day period.

The 36-year-old Ibanez surpassed the 100-RBI mark for the third straight season in 2008, leading the Mariners with 110 RBIs. He also finished second in home runs with 23, set a career high with 43 doubles and played in all 162 games.

Just looking at the list

I didn't see any other Timber Rattler/Foxes connections. But, it's just the start.
