How did he get to Cleveland? Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the Cincinnati Reds to the Cleveland Indians.

The Cleveland Indians sent Lars Anderson and Tony Sipp to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cleveland Indians sent Shin-Soo Choo, Jason Donald and cash to the Cincinnati Reds in December.
What is expected of Stubbs? Stubbs will start for the Indians in the outfield this season. His speed will impress Indians fans all season. Stubbs, Michael Brantley, Nick Swisher, and Michael Bourn give the Indians the best outfield they have had in years. Stubbs strikes out more than some would like, but some folks around baseball will tell you this might be the best pick up of the off season.
