Andy Tracy, the face of the IronPigs, has signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. At 37, Tracy, who came up in the Expos' system, is still hoping to get a real shot at playing in the majors. Maybe he will find it with the D'backs. The slugging first baseman was a favorite with Lehigh Valley fans and seemed to be a genuinely good guy. Wish him well.
Sometimes it's all about making the best of the chance that comes to you. In his presser yesterday, Jayson Werth talked about how that may not always be in your control. Some guys get a chance but get injured, get sick, go into a slump, miss a bus, whatever. And like that it's gone, never to come again.
