Move Heisey to center and let Luddy play left.
You are kidding right? I just don't get the love affair people have with Heisey. He is a bench player for a reason. Stubbs can be frustrating, but there is just no doubt that he is a much better option than Heisey.
Stubbs has 54 more plate appearances (258-204). In those 58 more appearances Stubbs has:
20 more runs
2 less hits
2 more XBH
6 more HRS
3 more RBI (Even though both are weak)
15 more walks (I didn't think it was possible to have less walks than Stubbs)
24 more K's (which people bitch about constantly with Stubbs...His K's per PA is 3.73 Heisey is not much better at 4.53...Projected over a full season is only 30 more K's)
13 more SB (Stubbs is 16-20 Heisey is 3-6)
Even though Heisey is hitting .38 points higher, his OBP is .03 higher than Stubbs. (Their OPS are identical and poor)
Stubbs also has a positive WAR while Heisey's is negative.
I think Heisey plays good defense, but Stubbs is a much better outfielder.
I guess I just take Stubbs as what he is. The Reds are not the Yankees that can afford a star at every position.
