The Rays and Cliff Floyd are close to an agreement on a one-year contract.
It's surprising the Rays didn't want someone a little more trustworthy with players like Geoff Jenkins and Brad Wilkerson still out there. Floyd will be pretty good when healthy, but he's a poor bet to make it through 400 at-bats, even if he's used as a DH a portion of the time. If Rocco Baldelli is healthy, the Rays will probably use Floyd against righties and Jonny Gomes against lefties. However, Gomes still could end up with more at-bats than Baldelli or Floyd anyway.
