Cubs sign Cliff Floyd

It is no secret that the Cubs have coveted home-town hero (?) Cliff Floyd for some time. Now I have nothing against Floyd and if he knows his role on the team, and is played properly by Sweet Lou, he will be a valuable asset to the Cubs. However, if he is used in a platoon with Murton it will be a disgrace. A platoon should be used when Batter A and Batter B either excel or struggle at hitting left or right-handed pitching. This is a great way to strengthen line-up with a positional weakness. However, in the case of Murton and Floyd we have one, younger, hitter who hits better that the other against both types of pitching. Last year's stats can be found on the left.
There split stats show Murton hit almost as well off righties in every category except for power (.295 avg, .356 obp, .426 slg, 51 K, 27 BB, 43 rbi and 7 HRs in 319 AB) that Floyd. Floyd can't hit lefties. Ever. Last year Floyd only managed 248 AB last year and hit better off them in 2005 so I will use 2005 stats to prove I am fair. Floyd hit well (.290 avg, .382 obp, .533 slg, 61K, 53 BB, 73 RBI and 25 HR in 407 AB) off righties, but not that much better than Murton. I like the OBP and the homeruns are nice. However, my problem is that you have this talented young kid in Murton. He is hitting well off of righties because . . . he is facing him. Having him face only lefties will cut his at-bats down to almost nothing. Let his see pitches. Dusty is long gone so we don't need to cater to the seniors. I think Floyd will be valuable. Especially if he . . . . . . spells the OF, as he can play all three positions, . . . spells D.Lee because he can play first. . . . hits well off the bench. . . . becomes an everyday OF if we trade Jacque Jones . . . hits himself into the line-up. This could happen. In the last three years Floyd's stats are (.396 avg, .522 obp, .682 slg, 151K, 125 BB, 161 RBI and 51 HR). Stats Inc. has a scouting report on him that reads he took little advantage of hitting around Mike Piazza and Richard Hidalgo in the Mets' line-up in 2005. Pitchers used Floyd's aggressive approach against him, with southpaws owning the left-handed hitter by limiting him to a .239 average. (This means he will be glad to never have to face Ohman's slider!) He also did not show the improvement he had made with his patience in recent years. While he continued to hit well at Shea Stadium, Floyd struggled on the road throughout the campaign. He has above-average pop in his bat and can drive the ball from gap to gap. However, despite his chronic heel problems, Floyd maintains decent speed both on the base paths and in the field. He reads pitchers well when attempting to steal and does a good job of taking an extra base. Floyd gets good jumps on fly balls in left field and is adept at holding runners to singles on balls hit down the line. His arm strength is above average for left. With his injuries, Floyd might benefit from an eventual move to first base. It is a fair scouting report and I hope Floyd flourishes as a Cubs, just not at the expense of Matt Murton.
