Buzz: Former Marlins OF Cliff Floyd

by Matthew Cerrone on October 24th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

In the Palm Beach Post, Joe Capozzi quotes free-agent OF Cliff Floyd as saying he is open to finishing his career with the Marlins, where he won a World Series and spent six seasons in the late 1990s.

According to previous reports, Floyd could retire, having spent roughly 40 percent of the last two seasons on the disabled list.

Floyd will seek a one-year, $3 million deal, similar to what he earned with the Cubs last year, writes Capozzi.

…i know there will be Mets fans who want floyd back at shea, to serve as a platoon for Lastings Milledge and Moises Alou, who will certainly be hurt at some point during next seasonit’s not a terrible idea, it’s just that he’s as much of an injury risk as alou, if not more…i miss cliff as much as the next nostalgic fan, but he’s not the future…this ship has got to keep moving forward
