Cliff Floyd was chosen with 14th overall pick in the first round of the 1991 draft by the Montreal Expos. He made his Major League debut in 1993, and in 1994 finished fifth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting by hitting .281 over 100 games. After four seasons with the Expos, Floyd was traded to the Marlins for Joe Orsulak and Dustin Hermanson just prior to the 1997 season.
Floyd spent his first Marlins season split between the DL, the minors and the big club, hitting .234 in 61 games for the fish. In 1998, Floyd would respond to making the opening day roster with 22 home runs and 27 RBI to go along with a .282 batting average, his career best to date.
His best season with Florida was 2001, when he was selected to his first All-Star game by hitting 31 home runs with career bests of 103 RBI and a .317 batting average.
Floyd was traded in the midst of the 2002 seasons in a seven player deal with his original club, the Montreal Expos.
He totalled 110 round-trippers and 409 RBI, hitting .294 in 637 games over six Florida seasons.
He would later join the Boston Red Sox, the New York Mets, the Chicago Cubs, the Tampa Bay Rays and the San Diego Padres.
Floyd is currently a broadcaster with Fox Sports Florida.
