	Jim Tracy: The Pirates' New Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Tracy went on to become an All-American at Marietta, a fourth-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs, a player in the major leagues for two seasons and a manager -- first in the minor leagues, then with the Los Angeles Dodgers and now the Pirates.
		That was the origin of a trait that Tracy would develop keenly over the years, one that would mark his trail to the major leagues.
		Tracy's philosophy was forged on the Little League fields in Hamilton, Ohio, on the bench with Kent Tekulve, at Hamilton Badin High School, at Marietta College, in the farm systems of the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds and Montreal Expos and in the dugout with Felipe Alou.

	Sports - Pirates Hire Jim Tracy As Manager (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Tracy, 49, has been the front-runner from the start of the Pirates' search last week because of his long-standing ties to Pirates general manager Dave Littlefield, with whom he worked in the Montreal Expos' organization in the 1990s.
		Tracy replaces Lloyd McClendon, who was fired Sept. 6 during his fifth consecutive losing season and was replaced for the rest of the season by bench coach Pete Mackanin, who was not considered for the job on a permanent basis.
		Tracy is expected to have free rein to hire his own coaches, as the Pirates coaches were told following the season finale on Oct. 2 they would not be brought back.

		Tracy stops the session, strides to the box and places his arm around Capps.
		And somehow, despite the regimen, Tracy helped to keep the general mood incessantly upbeat, from roaring approval or cracking jokes to the unusual drill conducted Saturday in which he swatted liners and grounders at pitchers with their backs to a fence less than 50 feet away.
		The personal touch was a struggle at times for Tracy, but only because of his undying desire to memorize the name of every person he meets.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Feedback: Kudos to Jim Tracy
		When Jim Tracy was named Dodger manager, the common response was "Jim who?" Eighty-eight games later, he is one of the major reasons why the club is only 3½ games out of first place in the NL West.
		Right now, Jim Tracy has to be in line for manager of the year -- if for no other reason than for putting to rest the whole Gary Sheffield and management problem.
		And with all the accolades given Jim Tracy as a manager, I think he is too slow to remove pitchers and waits too long to go to the hot bat.

		LOS ANGELES — Jim Tracy's tenure as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers is over, one day after he finished his first losing season in five years with the team.
		Tracy pointed to a difference of opinion with the organization regarding the evaluation of players as a major reason why he won't be back.

		What I am most unimpressed with is the amount of swagger and talk the new coaching staff came in with and the subsequent lack of progress out of spring training on the fundamentals.
		It is early, but Tracy does not give me much hope that he will be able to get more of this team than their talent dictates.
		Tracy DOES, however, have an alternative to Randa, and had one to Burnitz until Casey got hurt and CWilson was needed at 1B.

		I did an interview with Charlie from Bucs Dugout to confirm that, yes, Jim Tracy is that bad of a manger.
		Despite Jim Tracy’s own insistance about smallball, and the public perception around him, Tracy was actually one of the least prolific bunters in baseball, even less so when you take out the anemic offense he was handed in 2003 and the 97 bunt attempts he made.
		Sadly, Tracy doesn’t have that kind of luxury in Pittsburgh, where his best strategy is “Bay, then hope the umpire doesn’t notice you hitting out of order”.

		I’ve employed Jim Tracy as one of my harness trainers because he trains and cares for his horses the way horses should be trained and cared for -- with an emphasis on horsemanship and getting the most out of each horse.

		Jim Tracy has left the Dodgers and is now a leading candidate to replace Lloyd McClendon in Pittsburgh.
		Tracy is partial to players such as shortstop Cesar Izturis and former Dodger Alex Cora, whose contributions aren't necessarily reflected in statistics.
		Those unexpected sources are the kinds of sources the Pirates need to be exploring, and Jim Tracy probably isn't going to succeed in Pittsburgh with a bunch of aesthetically-correct, throwback types of players.

		The entire team chart of WPA can be found here, the evil Craig Wilson and Ryan Doumit lead the team in WPA while Jason Bay, who's being almost equally blamed with Burnitz of late (see today's aborted lineup, Bay is sixth while Burnitz is still 5th), is only at -17.5%.
