Posted Tuesday October 02, 2012, About: Rebuild effort may cost Tracy's job

The Rockies were clearly in rebuild mode. He needs to stay and let this line up play out, because in a few years it could a World Series contender. Even the pitching staff is relatively young. I mean, Francis was the vet of the rotation. The Rockies need some time and a few other pieces like a dominant closer, a solid fifth starting pitcher, and a first baseman. I realize Helton will be back, or might be back, but his role should be to come off the bench and rally the young guys. But, I certainly love the youth. Rutledge will great. Pacheco and Colvin show promise. And, Rosario SHOULD win rookie of the year. With Tulo, Cargo, and Dex as the leaders of this team, the Rockies just need a bit of time. So, why not keep the manager in place to groom their progressions. I mean, Tracy knows baseball. He is great strategist and he is patient. I don't think sending him packing for a new manager would do any good for the amount of young players on this team, and stability at manager would be better than a new manager.
