The Curse of Wrigley Field

The Cubs are close to shoring up their outfield by signing slugger Cliff Floyd to a one year deal.  Odds are Floyd will start the season as the fourth outfielder but I’ve been seeing a lot of rumors that have the Cubs trading Jacque Jones to make room for Felix Pie.  If that happened, you’d expect Floyd to get a little more time as they ease Pie into the big leagues.

Floyd is a solid, yet injury prone veteran that I can see Lou Pinella liking.  In just 2005, Floyd had a career year so if he can get back some of that and if he’s past his injuries, he could make for a great left handed option.
