Tib, good points. I was not down on Tracy until this year.
I still think he "overmanages" and the fact that he could not get along with Karros and Grudz is troublesome but he is sort of handcuffed with the roster he has. This season I was angry to see him toe the company line with when he spoke about how the Dodgers don't need to make any trades and all the talent they have is already in the dugout. On the other hand, if he was spouting off about how management was not getting him the players he needed, he'd lose the confidence of the players and probably alienate himself from upper management. Either way, tough situation.

With $18 mill freed up with the departures of Jordan and Ashby at seasons end, that's some money they can use to pick up a real star.
