I wouldn't worry too much about Floyd. Lou said today that Floyd will not have a straight platoon with Murton (read: Floyd won't play nearly as much as some feared). Therefore, his opportunities to be a butcher on defense will be limited.
They can still invite the MiL guys over to play in the games so we may still see one or two of them (ie Sean Gallagher). However, with so few games left, the chances are low.
The battle is basically over. Miller is the fifth starter and Guzman is trying to win the final bullpen spot as a long reliever. Tribune Cubs.com Suntimes Daily Herald.com

I think I just heard that Angel Guzman beat out Rocky Cherry and Roberto Novoa for the final bullpen spot. I'm not 100% certain because I was listening to ESPN AM 1000 and writing something at the same time... We'll see if something is printed in the post game columns.
Soriano and Murton both ranked as two of the best LF in baseball last year. Most advanced metrics had Jones at above average, too. The outfield defense will be fine. As long as Floyd isn't playing. Agreed! He's the weak link out there...
