Chad Tracy hit his first career walk-off home run last night, so congratulations to him. I still remember a couple years ago when he had so much promise, and people thought he was going to be great. Unfortunately, he hurt his right knee in the middle of last season. The previous two seasons he hit .308 and .281 with 27 and 20 HR and 72 and 80 RBI ('06 and '05 respectively). Therefore, he did pretty darn well. At age 28, he is just reaching his prime, and if he is healthy, he could be a valuable trade piece either now or in the off-season. Honestly, I think the best thing would be to wait and keep him for their post-season run, but he might bring more at July 31. Then again, teams may want to see him healthy before trading something away. It may not take too much to get him (maybe a B prospect or two), and I think he has some good seasons ahead of him. Maybe the Braves should trade for him (for a young pitcher or two).
