Rockies Replace Clint Hurdle

Fire sale?? They really don't have that many good pieces. Although I'll take Brad Hawpe!

"Colorado fans better hope Jim Tracy is interim with no chance to be hired at the end of the year.

I think a fire sale will have to happen sooner rather then later. Shake something up, see what happens.

Tracy got the shaft in LA. He is a good manager.

AHAHAHAHA

"at least he isnt going to ruin the dodgers. Tracy managed OK teams, but had no idea how to manage pitchers and didnt understand about slumps and letting kids play.

No Joe Torre has no idea how to manage the pitching. He got fired because of McCourt/Depo

"had no idea how to manage pitchers and didnt understand about slumps and letting kids play."

That's Torre.

Didn't Andre Ethier sit on the bench in favor of Juan Pierre last season?

Isn't Blake DeWitt on a bench right now?

Jim Tracy, hahaha!!!

He's terrible. I remember throughout his tenure in Pittsburgh, he would ALWAYS mention that he won a division title like it was the biggest accomplishment ever.

"Didn't Andre Ethier sit on the bench in favor of Juan Pierre last season?"

Ethier got 596 PA's last year. He wasn't sitting too often.

"But Dewitt should be playing 2nd base at Triple A. "

He is playing 2B in Triple-A. Also playing a little SS and 3B.

Tracy was the one batting Jason Phillips and his .600 OPS in the cleanup hole.

I honestly think a manager is least important in baseball as opposed to the importance of a coach in the NFL/ NBA/ NHL. I think I read somewhere that they may decide the outcome of four total games throughout a whole entire season. That being said, I truly feel sorry for anyone who has Jim Tracy managing their ball club. He was terrible during his tenure for the Pirates and I recall numerous players telling the media of how there was a huge lack of discipline and regimented order during his time here. Some went as far as saying players were allowed to leave the dugout to check text messages after ABs. What garbage.

Ethier sat on the bench for the first few weeks, then he started nearly everyday.

DeWitt is at AAA, playing 2B(starting) and a little SS/3B.

Torre at least lets Loney, Kemp, Ethier, Martin all play. He didnt start Ethier because he struggled last ST and he hadnt seen enough to start him. That quickly changed. As someone pointed out, Tracy was an uneducated manager when puting a lineup together.

With Loney, Kemp, Ethier coming up; Kemp was a player who had skills but didnt put it together until last yr. I explained Ethier, and Loney started almost as soon as he was ready.
