Jim Tracy Resigns as Rockies Manager

Jim Tracy resigned today as the Rockies Manager after nearly 4 years at the helm.  He compiled a 294-308 record with the Rockies and led them to their best record of 92-70 in 2009 and their worst record at 64-98 this season.

I have pondered the status of Tracy for most of the 2nd half of the year, and still could not conclude whether he deserved to stay or needed to go.  It's difficult to say what type of skipper the Rockies need someone who can motivate them in thier longer slumps than either Clint Hurdle or Jim Tracy had done over the past several years.

I thank Jim Tracy for his service to the Rockies and wish him well.  He certainly deserves another managing opportunity in the future.
