Drew Stubbs @DrewStubbsHub Indians rumors: Drew Stubbs 'eminently available' http://sns.mx/jUqwy2 Collapse Reply Retweet Favorite Buffer More 6:54 AM - 14 Feb 13 · Details Frank Victores-US PRESSWIRE The Indians signing of Michael Bourn leaves outfielder Drew Stubbs as the odd man out and "eminently available." SHARE TWEET The Cleveland Indians signing of free agent Michael Bourn leaves fellow offseason acquisition Drew Stubbs as the odd man out, according to Jon Heyman, who adds that the outfielder is "eminently available." Following the Bourn signing, Paul Hoynes of The Plain Dealer reported that it didn't sound like the agreement would prompt the Indians to trade Stubbs or Michael Brantley. If they decide to hold onto both players, it would likely mean that Nick Swisher would shift to first base with Mark Reynolds becoming a regular designated hitter. However, Heyman isn't convinced, as he views Stubbs as the more likely of the two outfielders to be shipped out of town. Considering the lack of alternatives on the open market, Heyman believes that if the Indians do make Stubbs available the New York Metswould do well to get involved.
