Newsbreakers

October 8, 2009

MLB.com reports that the Padres waived outfielder Cliff Floyd and pitchers Cha Seung Baek and Shawn Hill on Thursday.

Our View:

Floyd could be close to retiring after totaling just 16 at-bats this season due to shoulder issues. He hasn't had a full or productive season in some time and may be better off just hanging up the spikes.

June 19, 2009

Cliff Floyd has been transferred from the 15 to the 60-day DL by the Padres, according to TSN.

Our View:

He is dealing with a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Floyd only hit .125 over 16 at-bats as a pinch-hitter with the Padres this season, and did not hold any fantasy value.

May 30, 2009

Cliff Floyd has been activated from the 15-day DL following his recovery from a strained right shoulder, according to TSN. Outfielder Drew Macias was sent down to Triple-A as the adjoining move.

Our View:

Floyd is not solid defensively, and his fantasy value will be limited to deeper leagues while serving as a reserve. His power should be hindered while playing his home games at Petco Park as well.

May 18, 2009

Cliff Floyd, who has been recovering from a strained right shoulder, is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Lake Elsinore, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Our View:

He is yet to make his season debut with the Padres. He is a liability as an outfielder, and will likely be limited to a bench role as a pinch-hitter when he is ready to join the club.

May 6, 2009

Cliff Floyd ran in the outfield during batting practice on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He recently had fluid drained from the knee and has been on the DL since April 5.

Our View:

Floyd has yet to register an at bat this season, and he figures to primarily serve as a pinch-hitter when he does return. Floyd's body and defense are simply too suspect to test in the field for nine innings in the field.

April 22, 2009

Cliff Floyd had his knee drained last week, according to the North County Times. He is currently on the DL with a strained shoulder.

Our View:

His knee issue pushed back his rehab assignment that was slated to start Monday. It is uncertain when he will return to the diamond.

April 6, 2009

Cliff Floyd has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Padres, according to Scout.com. Outfielder Drew Macias was called up from the minors as the adjoining move. Floyd is nursing a strained right shoulder.

Our View:

Floyd would not hold much fantasy value while serving as a reserve outfielder and pinch-hitter if healthy.

March 13, 2009

Cliff Floyd sent a pitch over the wall in his only at-bat Friday against the White Sox.

Our View:

The 36-year-old Floyd offers only limited fantasy value this season. Any extended playing time he receives in the Padres' outfield will be the result of a rash of injuries.

March 5, 2009

Cliff Floyd was 0-for-2 with a walk in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Rangers.

Our View:

Floyd shouldn't be expected to make many starts with San Diego and is batting just .222 so far this spring.

February 5, 2009

Updating an earlier story, Cliff Floyd has signed a one-year, $750,000 deal with the Padres, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

Floyd will be the Padres main left-handed bat off the bench. His only fantasy value will come if he is pressed into the starting lineup due to other injuries.

February 5, 2009

Cliff Floyd has reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Padres, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The deal is pending a physical and financial terms were not disclosed.

Our View:

Floyd will fill the Padres' need for a left-handed pinch hitter and DH for interleague action at AL parks. Floyd's fantasy value will be limited, especially while playing his home games at pitcher-friendly Petco Park.

February 2, 2009

The Padres are interested in Cliff Floyd, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He will be trying to bounce back from a torn labrum in 2009.

Our View:

Floyd would be added as a left-handed bat off the bench, and could serve as the Padres' DH during interleague play. If Floyd lands in San Diego as a reserve, his fantasy value would be limited.

January 7, 2009

Cliff Floyd would like to return to the Rays, according to ESPN.

Our View:

The Rays reeled in outfielder Pat Burrell, but Floyd's rep is talking to the club about finding a role for his client. Floyd is attempting to bounce back from a torn labrum.
