Veteran Will Venable released by Indians
The Cleveland Indians released outfielder Will Venable.
Prospect Tyler Naquin's emergence in centerfield spelled doom for Venable. The good news for the veteran outfielder is he shouldn't be out of a job for long. A team looking for outfield help -- like the Philadelphia Phillies -- figures to quickly scoop Venable up.
Naquin was limited to 84 games between Double- and Triple-A last season due to injury but hit .300/.381/.446 when he was healthy. The former first-round pick has batted a robust .400/.462/.629 over 35 plate appearances this spring, notching three triples and a stolen base.
