Tracy, mostly relegated to a bench/pinch hitter role, earned the praise of manager Davey Johnson. Tracy was compared, in importance, to the signing of Laynce Nix’ with the Nationals last year according to Comak’s reporting of Johnson’s comments. Nix signed with the Phillies this year for a 2-year deal after his solid campaign with the Nats.
Tracy’s been integral for the first-place Nationals this year with solid contributions across the board. Continuing with Johnson’s quotes, Comak reports Tracy was resigned because the team didn’t want to lose another good role player. Tracy, for the year, is hitting .283, 3 HRs, 13 RBIs, and is hitting at a .870 OPS after spot duty in Chicago and Florida in the 2010 season.
