Floyd Healing

Cliff Floyd, on the mend since undergoing sugery to repair a torn achilles last season, has around one month left on his sixth-month recovery timeline. He's running at full speed and will try running in spikes shortly.

Unlike his weight-intensive training regimen from last offseason, Foyd has gone a different route this time around. According to this article in the Post:

To help his cause, though, Floyd changed his workouts this offseason, ditching a plan stressing a lot of weightlifting in favor of a regimen that emphasizes flexibility and core strength. That's meant a lot of running, yoga and pilates. He's also been working with the same Miami therapist, Lisa Kearns, who helped with Mike Piazza's rehab last year.

Despite his injury last season, Floyd went 290/376/518, with an OPS+ of 132, not to mention 18 homeruns and 68 RBI in only 365 AB. He can also steal a few bases, sporting a career 76% success rate. If the Mets are going to be repectable this season, Floyd will have to be a big part of it.
