Cliff Floyd returning to Chicago

This is another good reason for Cub fans to return from their temporary status as sox fans especially those from the south burbs where Floyd is from.

Just another piece of the puzzle.

The Mets fans loved Floyd---too bad he kept getting hurt


Great guy in the clubhouse

TrHit, That's so important having another good fit in the clubhouse, It's amazing how much damage a guy like Albert Bell remember that surly presence or even the big Hurt. I just think guys like that do way more damage than what appears on the surface. Yeah they put up some nice numbers but at what expense? Oh Yeah no titles, well Hurt did get a ring and really didn't have a chance to bring the team down in the end.
It's hard to gauge it but it's there. Interesting to note that everyone was worried about A.J. P coming to the Sox and what a cancer he was in the clubhouse, and it turned out he was a great players "Player" and a real nice addition to the team.

Where would he play??? LF? would that mean that Cubs are trusting Soriano in CF? What a great defensive OF that would be..Floyd/Soriano/Jones.

Barring just a miserable spring training I expect Felix Pie to break camp with the big club and be the starting CF in the season opener. If they do sign Floyd I also expect the Cubs to be agressive in trading Jones. Soriano will play RF in one of the leagues toughest parks. But, his arm will make up for a few bobbles in the field. No one will challenge him by trying to take an extra base. JMO

I like Soriano in CF---that was a Yankee plan years back.

Looks to me like a Murton-Floyd platoon in LF.

Depending on Floyd's health, they may want to use him off the bench most of the time.

Pie is having a less than average go of it in winter ball. I'm sure they want him in CF, but to me all bets are off.

Cliff is a great guy. I have known him for decades. The Cubs could use a genuine guy like him.
