Indians avoid arbitration with Drew Stubbs
Drew Stubbs - OF - Cleveland Indians
Jan. 18, 2013 - 12:37 AM ET

Indians and OF Drew Stubbs avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.825 million contract.

The deal also carries $50,000 worth of performance-based bonuses. Stubbs was traded to the Indians in mid-December after batting just .213/.277/.333 in 2012 for the Reds. He still has an attractive combination of power and speed, however, and should again be fantasy-relevant this season in Cleveland.
