Free agent Jason Kubel said in and interview on Sirius-XM Saturday that he wants to sign with a team that will allow him to play the outfield. Kubel is terrible defensively, but evidently he's tired of being slotted into the designated hitter role as often as he was for Minnesota. Not surprisingly, he also added that he wants to sign with a contender (and thinks the Twins will bounce back to become one in 2012). Ultimately, he'll probably wind up choosing the team that gives him the best deal even if they aren't that good and want him to DH. Kubel, 29, is coming off an injury-plagued season that saw him bat .273/.332/.434 with 12 homers and 58 RBI over 401 plate appearances.
