Good luck to the Pirates. There is some nice young talent on that team. When they hired Tracy, it didn't really make much sense to me. Tracy's style depends too much on patience and the homerun. With all those youngsters, they should have hired a guy who could execute hit-and-runs, run-and-hits, base-stealing. Station to station baseball amd dependency on the homerun was the wrong philosophy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
