Jason Kubel Homers, But It Isn’t Enough to Stem Losing Tide at Home

On a night when the story should have belonged to guys like Jason Kubel and Miguel Montero, the Arizona Diamondbacks once again let a common refrain ring through Chase Field: this team just can’t get it done on their home turf. They fell to 8-15 on the season despite Kubel socking a home run on his 30th birthday, and they dropped the first game of a three-game set against the Milwaukee...

Kubel planning to be 'old self' with D-backs

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Jason Kubel will face adjustments to a new home park, new opposing pitchers and somewhat of a new game in the National League. It probably seems like a paper cut. A serious injury and forced swing changes can turn about anything else mundane. Freed from Target Field and a long way past his career-interrupting knee injury, Kubel is comfortable and confident...

"It hasn't been too tough an adjustment," Kubel said. "Its obviously something new, but everyone's made it really easy for me coming over here." The routine...

New D-back Kubel looks forward to Chase Field

PHOENIX The seed was planted here last May, when Jason Kubel knocked the ball around Chase Field with impunity, hitting for the cycle in Minnesotas three-game series. The Twins were swept, but Kubel was kind of swept away. Pretty nice place, he told his agent, Joel Wolfe. I like the way the ball comes off my bat. Obviously a very talented young team. I told Joel then that this...

Arizona Downgrades With Kubel Addition

Last year, the Arizona Diamondbacks were baseball’s biggest surprise, winning 94 games and the NL West title just a year after finishing 65-97. The team’s turnaround was driven by strong performances across the roster, but among the key factors in their success was the excellent defense delivered by their trio of outfielders. Chris Young (+14.1), Gerardo Parra (+9.6), and Justin...

If Minnesota Loves Jason Kubel, Set Him Free

The seemingly unending slow dance between the Minnesota Twins, the Colorado Rockies and Michael Cuddyer is over. As Matt Klaassen already analyzed, the Twins will probably be better off seeing other people in right field. For Terry Ryan and Minnesota, the attention now shifts back to another old flame: Jason Kubel. Kubel has already earned some interest from the Indians, and if Kubel...
