Well, the Chicago Cubs have did it again. They're throwing all the money on the line....wait a minute is this the same team ran by cheapskate owners? This can't be for real. This isn't some kind of publicity stunt is it? Okay I guess the news is startling at first. First of all, the Cubs need to figure out what they're going to pay Floyd and just offer him a one-year deal because everyone knows injuries are a problem for him.
I heard some outrageous figure of over $17 million Floyd may receive. That can't happen, management will need to consider their budget and use a little common sense. They need to know their spending limits. While I'm content with the new acquisition it's not smart and good baseball management to go crazy and sign guys on free agency market just to fill positions. Hendry says the Cubs need depth, which is true, but this will be an issue if Floyd go downs with another Anchilles injury. The former Mets outfielder played less than half a season in 2006 while batting .244. I hope his power and left-handed bat will be in the lineup enough to do some serious damange.
