3 Up – 3 Down: Replacing Tracy – Who is on deck?

Mountain man look has to give him the edge already.

Who is the first to get the ax?

Hey Jim, don’t let the door hit you on the way out

Jim Tracy, Ty Wigginton

Jim Tracy’s curious lineup choices have been subject to much scrutiny this year.  On this site, it’s been a particularly popular topic.  In fact, his inability to logically piece together a lineup has probably been discussed too much.  Nevertheless, I’m picking on sweet ole’ Jim once again and it’s because last night he may have …
