Chad Tracy went 3-for-4 and homered in a second straight game Saturday against the Phillies. |
Tracy hit just one homer in 146 at-bats in 2010 before spending last year in Japan. Now back in the U.S. with the Nationals, he has two homers and eight RBI in 34 at-bats. It is nice to see him contributing, but it's doubtful he'll have any fantasy value once Adam LaRoche rejoins the lineup. |
