Alou Vs. Floyd

Since 2000, Alou has played on average 5 games more per season than Floyd.

Since 2003, Alou has played on average 15 games more per season than Floyd.

Face it.  Floyd may be 6 yrs younger than Alou, but Floyd is a 34 yr old trapped in a 60 year old body.

Games Played:
  Floyd Alou
2000 121 126
2001 149 136
2002 146 132
2003 108 151
2004 113 155
2005 150 123
2006 97 98

Yes, Alou could pull a Mo Vaughn next season, but the difference is that it's really a one year deal and we're not counting on him to carry the offense.  Look at this lineup:

Reyes
LoDuca
Beltran
Delgado
Wright
Alou
Green
Valentin

We could have done a lot worse than Alou in left. Put it this way:  who is available that you would rather have?  Would you rather hand the job to Milledge?
