The Chicago Cubs signed free agent Cliff Floyd to a one-year contract. Floyd will backup Matt Murton and Jacque Jones at the corner outfield positions. Floyd has had an injury-plagued career. While healthy, Floyd is a solid pro hitter.
Some have talked that his signing opens the door for the Cubs to trade Murton or Jones, but with his health history I think that would be foolish. I think his best role will be as a left-handed bat either off the bench, or in a platoon in left field with Matt Murton.
I think it’s a great signing. An insurance policy, extra outfielder, good clubhouse guy, and he’s left-handed. Another piece to what will be a World Series team in 2007.
