Ibanez is a role player, not a regular. October 2nd? Game tying-pinch hit home run in 9th against Red Sox, and then game winning single in 12th. September 22? Pinch hit homer against the A's to tie up the game. All of that during a tense stretch run. All that being said, he's got to be bleeding confidence in these types of situations, which makes him very dangerous, plus the fact that being put in a situation like that will cause ANY other team or relief pitcher think twice about facing him and cause all kinds of managerial problems for the opposition. Ibanez wins the clutch prize.

Coco has been a clutch hitter for the A's all season. He's our go-to guy, not just an October wonder. He's a clutch hitter with guys on base, and a class person. Go Coco! Go A's!

Raul has always been a great hitter! Watched him in Seattle hated to see him get traded. He has won two post season games for the Yankees, that should say enough about Raul! A-Rod good but Raul is more of a clutch hitter!
